Mediocre Stay, Issues with Cleanliness and Service

bedding issues non-functional remote

The hotel's location provided convenient access to nearby malls.

The bedding had concerning black spots, possibly indicating bed bugs. I also found that the TV remote was not functional. This added to my frustration. I will not return.
