No. Just no. I walked in to the front desk. Not even three minutes into being there, some kid kept screaming, “THEY’RE COMING!” No adult supervision for this kid. The line was so long and it look me around 10-12 minute to reach the front desk. When I got there, It was a random old man who looked like he experienced the Titanic. I asked him, “Just a room for one please.” You know what he said? “Sorry, we only have rooms for 50 people or up.” WHAT? 💀 Anyway, I got a room for 50. (It was $900 dollars by the way even though I’m one person). Despite being for 50 people and up, the room was TINY. I could barely fit my suitcase. After that, I immediately check out. Worst hotel experience ever.

It sucked. Bed bugs in my bed, front desk guy RUDE. and the room wasn't clean when I come in. Outside was so loud. I couldn't sleep until 2 in the morning.
