Cross check with the Property for additional fees.

Not the best but not the worst. Minor issue became a bigger issue (had to change rooms due to toilet not working) and they told me I overlooked that a $100 deposit fee was required even though the room was paid for in advance. It is supposed to be refunded in 3 days. I will do a better job of following up with the actual property. Bed was comfortable but walls are thin.

The room was spacious and clean. The door was very difficult to close and lock. We were awakened at 5am by the loud talking of the breakfast staff. At checkout, the front desk agent was sound asleep on the front desk. Without being acknowledged, I simply left the keys on the desk and walked away.

It was aight…

They stay was good, but I do have a few complaints. The hot water was not hot, the cold air was not cold (68 degrees and it was still warm), I had two roaches in my room and there was an odor. Front desk staff was really welcoming and friendly.
