STAY AWAY
Absolutely the worst. Do not come here at. Matter a fact don’t even use hotels.com because they are just as worthless. Picture are incredibly deceitful. I had booked a three night stay and as soon as I walked in it was horrid. Nevermind the small space, the bugs and gnats in the shower were enough to raise concerns to front desk. The not so helpful and rude agent looked at us as if we were stupid and did not want to switch us rooms but ultimately did. Then this one had stains on the bed! Disgusting! I booked the Hilton plaza the next day. Hotels.com did absolutely nothing when I raised my concerns and “followed up with the hotel” after nearly a month of no contact I emailed them to see what was happening and they replied they would get back to me within 48 hours. I received that message 3 times. So an additional week for them to tell me they would not refund me due to their policy.
My recommendation is never to go to this property and to book directly at the hotel you want to stay at. You get rewards and don’t have to deal with hotels.com incompetent customer service

We arrived at 10pm. Our room wasn’t ready or at least that’s what the first receptionist told us. 40 minutes later and another receptionist/manager said that was just the computer not being updated so about as useful as a chocolate tea pot which wasn’t provided in the room in case you were wondering.
Neither were any of the utensils shown in the lovely photo they show as advertising. I could have done without the chopping board as I wasn’t expecting to host a dinner party but how is anyone going to do anything without a knife folk or plate and with what looked like an induction hob you need specialist pans. Nothing is provided.
The single tea bag for a couple staying 2 nights was a nice touch.
But a bed that is crammed in on 3 sides makes it very difficult for someone who has to get up in the night not to disturb their partner. Also if you are going to have a bedside light, why put the switch by the main door?
Finally, the condition the paintwork was awful (those bits that weren’t missing completely), the ceiling looked like it had some salt ingress caused by damp (although no idea how or what actually caused it) and the curtains were dirty and torn.
Other than that it was fine - a place for the younger crowd I feel

100% worth it
My partner and I were in the city for a concert and to do some sightseeing. It was absolutely amazing, the room was spacious, everything was very clean and the bed was super comfortable, everything was absolutely 10/10. I definitely recommend staying and checking out the pool upstairs.

The room was stupidly small, there was a kitchenette but the microwave didn’t work and there were no utensils to cook with. The bathroom you could barely stand up in, it smelt like drains and the sink was clogged.
