I was very disappointed. The room I paid for seemed to be not available , and be prepared for roaches to visit. This made it difficult to sleep and feel comfortable. I hope management addresses the cleanliness issues soon, as this location has potential but needs major improvement in hygiene and maintenance.

The pictures are deceiving. This looks more like a motel. The elevators were down and cable was out. I did appreciate them transferring my reservation to the Holiday Inn with no charge. The young lady upfront was very nice as well.
