The room was not cleaned properly, towels had holes, blood spots on doors and windows, pen scribbles on the heater cover and inside all of the drawers. The front desk clerk was non attentive. There were homeless people doing drugs and passed out on the benches out front. There was also a hole in the bedroom door. I would not stay here again.

It was a bit disappointing check in they had a virtual person, that couldn't locate my reservation. Had to repeat my name numerous times, tried to offer my confirmation number, but just keep telling me he couldn't find my booking. So they had to ask the on-site person help, which withn seconds he located my reservation.
