Locked in the bathroom...
This was literally the worst experience ive ever had. Please do not stay here. I got locked in the bathroom for several hours (didnt bring my phone in the bathroom) and had to literally break my way out of there using the bar off the towel rack. Then after i checked out early (obviously) they wouldnt refund the stay, just for the days i didnt stay. I literally could've still been in there rotting for days. Now the refund isnt even posting. (could be the bank, but still). They couldve cared less about what happened to me. That was a traumatizing experience.

The sheets were stained and had cigarette burns. We left almost immediately and they charged us twice for the "night" and told us it was our problem and to take the dispute to our bank.

Location was decent to where we wanted to be. The room was outdated. And didn't look at all like the pictures.
The bed skirt had stains. The beds were uncomfortable. And the room stank.
