The soap container in the bathrooms are empty . they move me to a different bedroom and is the same not soap in the bathroom . The location of the hotel is amazing. The manager of the hotel was very helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom, bathtub and toilet in my room were filthy. The ironing board was disgusting with brown stains all over it. I couldn't even use it. There wasn't a single trash can in my room. The soap dispensers were nearly empty. The hotel noise was very loud. The morning I requested a wake up call, no one called. Overall a terrible experience. I will not be staying here again.
