I was surprised when i got to this hotel. The parking lot was full of people playing loud music the AC was very loud, the shower kept getting clogged and took forever to drain. Some of the towels were dirty and the TV controller did not work. If it wasnt because it was late in the evening that I showed up, I would have went elsewhere. Definitely not coming back here.
