Pros (+) the location was great
Cons (-) the rooms had a very bad smell in them one of the rooms shower did not work very well it was very dirty and the maid would forget to bring any towels daily
Pros (+) Nothing
Cons (-) Sink was clogged up, no towels, dirty rooms, hair everywhere, room wouldn't lock, celling was falling apart
Pros (+) Nice bed. Comfy. Lots of pillows. Location good
Cons (-) Bugs in the room. Need to upgrade TV and make it looked nicer clear like Howard Johnson in Pico Rivera CA. Staff need to smile
Pros (+) Flat screen tv
Cons (-) The bed. Needs new mattress
Cons (-) Very dirty . Pool was not clean, beds were damaged and no clean towels for guests
Pros (+) I liked the location/ proximity to where we were going. I also appreciated that it had a fridge where we could keep our soda/ waters cold.
Cons (-) I didn't like how unkept it looked. Our room had an old leather couch that was all worn out. I would have preferred it to have no couch/ the space empty than to have the old / dirty looking leather couch. I also found it odd that it had an ironing board but no iron, and coffee packets but no coffee pot. Breakfast was very limited.
Pros (+) Close to other hotels and restaurants
Cons (-) Can't upgrade any reservations made online. The room, with a king bed, was extremely small. I had to ask for towels every day because they didn't leave any. The place, inside and out, looks like it's falling apart. Guests were shady looking. Other amenities were nearby but this place is clearly on the wrong side of the tracks. I wish I would've spent the money to stay at a different hotel.
Pros (+) this place was a disaster from start to finish...do not stay here!! No towels after maid service...TV was Air...no cable as advertised. Microwave broken. Smelled terrible. Worst hotel stay ever!
Cons (-) i hated every minute of my time in this hotel. Two days of sin and punishment. Do not think you are saving any money...this place is a joke. Shut it down!!!
Cons (-) Bathroom has no door. Poor living condition.
