"Hands down the worst place we have ever stayed. The bed was torture, we could feel the springs. Loud, hot (no AC), complicated check in and parking and some random people rolling around in the hallways at 4:00 am knocking on our door. No amount of savings is worth staying here. Trust me. DONT DO IT!!"
