Staff was helpful but as other reviews mentioned, this property is in dire need of a deep cleaning, there are roaches in the rooms, first night no hot water and various items broken in the room, bath towels were dirty and stained, but the roaches was the worst. The location is very convenient and close to the parks.

This was by far the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had. The room was infested with cockroaches, which was absolutely horrifying. On top of that, the entire place had a horrible, nasty smell that made it unbearable to stay in the room for long. The AC didn’t work, it was clear that cleanliness and hygiene are not priorities here. Avoid this place at all costs!
