Reviews are deceiving

The pool was green with algea all along the bottom. Its unfortunate b/c my 8 yr old was looking forward to swimming. The elevators were broken. The hallways were very hot. The remote control to the TV was falling apart and barley worked. Its great they allow pets but fleas are unacceptable. Terrible experience and waste of my money.

The lobby was very hot, the room was hot when we first got there and had a bad/ old smell. The room did eventually cool down but the mildew smell stayed. The pool water was green so no one went for a swim. The breakfast was horrible so we threw that away and went pickup food. However the shower had wonderful water pressure and well stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The hotel seems to be in a safe area with lots of restaurants and shopping close by
