Verified traveler

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A/C was barely blowing made it miserably hot. Shower curtains were held up by what looked like wire hangers. TV didn't even work. Only had two bath towels a day. No hand towels nor wash rags. All in all a terrible experience
