The front desk clerk was oblivious. Told her repeatedly we had a dog (pet required a 1st floor room). 1st room, one of beds wasn't made & smelled so strongly of bleach, my eyes & nose burned. We're told to wait 30 min till cleaning is done. We come back & no rooms left on first floor. 2nd fl room filthy. AC noisy. Vents covered in dirt. Bathroom vent/light dirty & so loud, I woke up hubby during nite. Do NOT stay here.

Dirty bugs I don’t know what happened to this place. I used to love it. They were really nice to me. The staff is amazing. I will say especially the daytime stuff. I think it needs an upgrade. The security guard was our 24 seven there was always something going on.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I only saw one staff member ever and usually there was no one at the counter, I asked for a room close to the WiFI since I traveled there to study for a huge test and it was mediocre at best. The room had numerous bugs and I woke up to what I thought was a tick in my bed, but the lady at the desk said "no that's not a tick, dont worry about.that bug". If I do not pass this test due to my accommodations and getting zero sleep before an 11 hour exam I'll be rather furious.
