The kiosk was interesting for a desk clerk. But there was no staff to make breakfast, so I asked if I could dig through the cabinets to get cereal or oatmeal. They said yes. The bedroom coffee machine had old water and bacteria in it. I didn't like this place.

Terrible Experience With the room service which was nonexistent and the pull out bed had blood and used handkerchief in it. No hotel staff used virtual kiosk staff not on-site unable to assist domestic violence occurring on first floor had to call the police. The amenities were terrible. Checking out was sad and checking in was a hassle with the virtual kiosk service. My overall experience was horrible never got to talk to a single human that worked there.

This place is a joke. No amenities, and only one person in the entire hotel working there. You check in at a kiosk with individuals halfway across the continent. I stayed 7 days and never got trash picked up outside my door, no clean towels or wash rags, no room service cleaning the entire stay. Every day when I left and came back my key didn't work having to get a nea key every time I left and came back. I had to pay half of my rate when I made another reservation to extend my stay because the kiosk wasn't working and the lady yhere didn't believe me even when I showed her my reservation and confirmation number. I would not recommend anyone staying in this hotel. It is horrible.
