Basic Hotel if on a budget.
Could use a good update. Carpets felt wet, room had a dirty smell, AC didn't work, young girl at the front desk was not accommodating. All other employees were vere pleasant.
I requested adjoining rooms on several occasions throughout the booking process and check-in process and was never accommodated (young girls at the desk). I was disappointing as this was my chance to spend time with my family for the first time in weeks as I was traveling for work.
