"The AC leaked water on the balcony, which was littered with cigarette butts. The bathtub in our room wasn't clean, and a flooding issue forced some guests to be relocated; our floor smelled like raw sewage. Only an apology was offered. The bathrooms in the lobby also smelled like sewage. This hotel was not worth the price.2016-08-15"

"The hotel was outdated and under construction. One side of our 6th floor room had no electricity, and when we opened the door to use the iron, the door fell on us. The beds were comfortable, but the carpet was dirty and there were bugs in the bathroom. The bike and TV in the exercise room didn't work. Breakfast was OK, but the food wasn't that fresh and there was no fruit. I didn't feel safe and wouldn't stay here again.2015-10-01"
