I was highly disappointed with my stay. After we paid they waited to inform us the elevators were out and the maintenanceman will be there to fix it. It never got fixed and I stayed on the 4th floor so i had to carry everything up and down. Also had holes in the walls and Roaches inside the bedroom and Livingroom. I informed the staff and they said it was nothing they can do and they have no on-site manager. I will never stat there again

Door didn't have any extra lock

1. Room 517, toilet doesn’t work. 2. The room was dirty. They didn’t clean it until the following morning. 3. They were supposed to have a breakfast buffet until 10am. They refused to cook more food, to accommodate their guests. In fact, they ran out of eggs, at 9am. I didn’t have breakfast. 4. Also, they charged me a $100 deposit for a dirty room There was an assault on a woman at the hotel. Their was a lot of blood.
