Except for the bathroom floor, the entire floor for the rest of the room had very loose lamenant tiles, so much so that they creaked when you walked anywhere in the room. Someone with bare feet could get pinched between the strips of lamenant. Could get you sued.

The buggiest stay I’ve ever had
The only positives was an easy check in and proximity to food. This hotel is not updated at all, the toilet wasn’t fixed to the floor, the room has bed bugs.

I checked in late due to travel delays and I was met by 2 employees that seemed hesitant about letting me into the locked front door. This after giving them my license and credit card info through a window. After finally gaining access to the front lobby, I had to explain to them and show my Orbitz reservation on my phone. I then preceeded to wait 45 minutes because said employees weren't familiar with the Orbitz travel site. Upon finally getting my assigned room, I went to turn on the a/c when i saw dozens of ants in the room. I attempted to mentally block what i saw before coming to my senses and finding a room elswhere. Lesson learned. Next time, I'll pay extra for the comfort of a more reputable brand.
