Checkin was easy. The room had been updated. I'm certain the floors don't get washed often as I spilled a bit of water and the white paper towel I used to wipe it up was dirty. The coffee machine and coffee needs an upgrade. The cord on the machine was not long enough to be plugged in. Had to sit it on a chair to reach the power bar. I checked out and was in a hurry to play golf and left a nearly full bottle of Wente Morning Fog in the fridge. Called within five minutes and left a VM to explain I would pick it up on my way home after golf and to aknowlege my VM. No response and when I stopped in they had dumped it. So no rave reviews from me.

It wasnt horrible but when we arrived ashtrays outside where overflowing. Our bathroom looked newer but had black stuff at the bottom of the shower. There was also a funny but not terrible smell when you first open the door. Needs some airing out.

The place was basically clean, albeit with mold developing in shower and bathroom floor. The only pillows provided were the pillow shams (so who knows when the sham covers had last been cleaned.) When we went to the office to ask for pillows, there was no one there and no way to contact anyone. When we asked for suggestions about food, the person in the office told us that he was vegetarian and so had no idea. And there were at least 2 clothes rods, but no hangars a and no hooks other than the hook for a bathrobe by the shower. We managed, but Expedia would be advised to review the places that they offer, or at least rate them!

Disgusting! The room was filthy and had obviously not been cleaned. The bed sheets and pillows were covered with yellow stains, the bed skirt was full of yellow and dark brown stains. Bugs on the floor all over the place. Dirty curtains, filthy, broken appliances, disgusting shower curtain, broken sink, bathroom wall covered with toothpaste projections, dust everywhere, and the list goes on. The front desk person offered to vacuum the bugs and showed up with a small stick vacuum. He also gave me a cab of Feebreeze to.cover the horrible smoke and musty odor of the room. This place is Disgusting and unsanitary and should not be allowed to operate. Literally the worst i have ever seen and i travel the world quite frequently! Wish i could post pictures here! Stay away!
