Niente

− Le camere puzzavano di fumo era sporchissimo zero servizi cucina non attrezzata nel corridoio sembrava di stare in una piazza di droga

Nice establishment, convenient location.

8.0

I really liked the convenience of the location and that there is walking distance to nice restaurants, dine in or takeout. I also liked that there was a designated smoking section outside.

− The rooms are not thoroughly checked, found some things from previous guests. However, I did not bring this to anyone’s attention to have it addressed. I did not like more of a variety in their “gift shop” for food since they don’t have complimentary breakfast.

The pool is so duty. No body use it unless you’re drunk and can’t see well. The Jacuzzi is closed.

6.0

Nice location

− I don’t know why but the hotel parking lot is some how not under the facility responsibility in case of breaking or theft. They even have a sign posted about it. During my stay there was so many cars about 15 (mostly trucks) that had their windows broken by armed people who where looking for guns to steal. Apparently, it has been going on for while.
