Traveled with family Sep 21, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The set
up of the room was fine given there was enough sleeping areas for all individuals. The suite as a whole was fine. My dislike came with things such as lights in the shower did not work, the lock on the door and toilet tissue holder was hanging off the wall. Mostly my dissatisfaction was when I noticed roaches crawling around in the bathroom, on the sink, tv stand, kitchen area etc. all this while getting up in the middle of the night about 3 am to use the bathroom. I mentioned this to the clerk
at check out this morning, who stated he will notify Expedia. I’m usually not one to complain but the fear of insect infestation like roaches and bed bugs will turn into sleepless nights. Stayed 1 night in Sep 20223/5 Okay
Traveled with family Sep 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient

Sep 12, 2022 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The worst experience ever! I have never been so annoyed at any hotel because we had the worst next door neighbor and the sound is so clear that they bothered us until 4am! The neighbor customer kept talking and making noises almost the
whole night. There is literally no sound proof at all. Also the window cannot open. Stayed 1 night in Sep 20221/5 Terrible
