Fernando

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place is filthy and disgusting. There was lots of mold in shower/ on bathroom walls, dirty walls and musky odor throughout room, towels are paper thin and super stained, shower curtain is yellowed and stained, the light was out over the vanity, the pillows were completely flattened out from overuse both the pillows and mattresses had orange/ brown/ green spots on them that were probably mold. When we addressed the issue at the front desk, we were allowed to look at two other rooms we could choose from. Both were just as bad as the first! Stay clear of this property!
