The shower had poor water pressure and the toiletries were not labeled. You couldn't tell what was shampoo, conditioner or body wash. The soap dispenser was too far away from the sink.

We got a room right by the office and could hear the front desk workers and their child talking right outside our door until 2 am. The breakfast was horrible. Seemed like fake eggs, slices of bread, NO types of meats, cereal.
