The entrance sign was broken/missing making it hard to find the entrance. Room was mostly clean but we did find an empty cigarette box on floor and our smoke detector covered in a plastic bag. AC was extra loud. Hot tub was out of service and full of goop. Pool was dirty and none of the equipment in the fitness center worked. Asked the front desk soap but they were out. Front desk staff were friendly. Would not stay here again.
