The breakfast Thursday morning consisted of cereal, toast, banana, apple, orange, apple juice, milk and coffee. The elevator did not work. The outside grounds had big pile of brush in the parking lot and trash laying all around . Had to get clean towels. Turn in old towels. Lamp on table did not work. Refrigerator barely kept things cool. I would not recommend this. Please we're there each day because of vehicle break-ins. One contractor lost over $3,000 worth of tools.

Elevators were not working and they gave us the room at 5th floor, we had to walk all the way to our room by stairs with all our luggage. Power wasn’t working in the room which they assigned us earlier. After informing, they changed our room. Air conditioning poor. Toilets not cleaned. This is the worst experience I have ever had.
