"Disgusting"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Couldn't check in until we'll after the 3pm check in time. Stated they were short staffed but had multiple people in tank tops cleaning rooms one every 3hrs. Upon receiving my room I found moldy takeout left overs in the fridge and a strong smell of mold. Another friend found actual mold on the ceiling that appeared to be painted over.
