I like the location of this property. I didn't like several things: Carpets and sofas were getting worn out. Temperature of hallways and lobby was hot and uncomfortable. Apples and oranges were not fresh in the dining room. I went to pool and found out that there were buoyant matters like leaves so forth which made me feel that it was not being maintained. I visited gym and discovered that the running machine wasn't functional. I was charged $150/night and I do not think that I received what I paid for.

Disappointed stay

There was a funny smell in the lobby and room. The mattress was sagging in the middle and very uncomfortable. There was a white substance all over the carpet and the room was not cleaned very well.
