Holly

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room wasn’t very clean, no hangers in the closets, at least 1 person slept overnight at a table in the courtyard, people were smoking in front of our room, our room had water damage and mold, no place to sit in the room, no dresser. I could go on but suffice it to say, the location is the only reason to stay here.
Closet - no hangers and no iron.
No dresser, no place to put your suitcase. TV couldn’t get WiFi.
Mold at base of shower.
Something on the wall - don’t even want to know what it is.

The rooms smelled of mold covered with floral spray. The walls, sheets and bed spread were stand as well. The cleaning staff was throwing sheets and bedding and trash bags over the railing onto the ground outside from the upper level. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else.
