The room was absolutely ant infested. I stayed there 3 nights. I arrived at 5pm the first day, with some fried chicken. I used the plastic bag from the chicken as a plate. I left the plate with chicken scraps on the floor. When I returned to the rom after work on day 2, there was a 6" wide path that was ~48" long, solid of ants from the wall to the chicken. The path continued down the wall, under the heater for about 2 more feet. I chased down a maid, and got some chemical spray. I doused the ants and they died in place. The black, 6" wide path remained for the duration of my stay. .... later, I woke up with bugs on my arm, and once on my face. They charge extra for parking. I spent over $500 for three nights, and they would not give me a parking space. The continental breakfast is just toast and quarter'd waffle triangles. No hot food. There was cold cereal, but the milk was practically see-thru in the 2-gallon dispenser. This place is only a small improvement when compared to sleeping in your car. I will never go back.

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was courteous. We needed a hotel close to the airport before an early morning flight and this hotel was servicable. There was no fridge in the room, so I was happy to find ice and an ice bucket for some food that we had to keep cold. I wish the room had been cleaner and in better repair. Unfortunately the hotel shuttle did not run at the time that we needed it, so we had to schedule an Uber.

Woke up to a swarm of ants on the sink and all over my toiletries. There was no water in the room. Sheets were clean and bed comfortable after 16 hours of flying it was a good night sleep.
