THIS IS NOT ON BASE!
Place is very dirty, smelled of strong chemicals, no outlets in the kitchen area work, mold on the ceiling, black long hair everywhere in the hotel room (I am blonde and my family are all blonde), room smelt like mold, staff not very welcoming. If I could rate it lower I would. Stay somewhere else.

Was there for a week request my room to be clean. No one came until a week later , by then I was switching hotels due to roaches and uncleanliness. I also don’t know why staff think they can yell at people children. Better be glad I was at work! Unprofessional and only one elevator works . It was quicker to take the stairs. Only one dryer works … I could go on and on . Never had this type of experience at a hotel in my life and I do a lot of traveling!

As someone that travels for work and stays exclusively with IHG I would not recommend this hotel. Musty smell. Bed Bugs and or fleas caused me to check out early and stay somewhere else.

This stay was terrible. The female workers are very nasty especially the lady at the front desk. There are roaches in the rooms. They don’t clean the rooms. If you ask about the pool they will ignore you. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL. You go to sleep and a roach crawl in your ear.

Take care. This hotel over charge.
I was overcharged 700 USD from Jan to Apr 2026. Manager said that my balance was zero.
Automatic charge system does not work properly.
Tengan cuidado, este hotel cobra de mas.
Yo estuve de enero a abril de 2026 y me hicieron cargo de mas por 700 dolares.
La gerente dijo que ya estaba en cero.
Su cobro automatico no sirve bien.
