This hotel needs to be shut down immediately and redone. It is in really bad shape and I’m trying to be positive but it is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in my daughter made it one night and left by 9 AM in the morning to go to a new hotel. There’s no locks on the door in the hotel no deadbolt at least every door is broken from a fire that they had a year before the fire department had to kick in the doors it is in dire Conditions
