The bathroom tub was a bit stained. There were a significant amount of roaches that came out. The mini refrigerator was dirty as well. I think if you focused on this a bit more you could be a much more successful Inn.

Bathroom doesn't look that clean. The internet is terrible. It doesn't work at all. Keep trying to connect all night and I had to give up. Customer service is good though. Very noisy room next door. You could hear them screaming. The noise actually kept me up all night, didn't sleep.
