DISGUSTING
Do NOT stay here. Rooms are not cleaned properly and bad smells, bedding was dirty, the mattress had huge stains, probably blood and other stuff. The shower curtain also had brown substance stains. According to the front desk, we were given the best room of the hotel. Absolutely disgusting. Roaches on premises, probably mice and rats too.
