My stay started out horrible! I would like to acknowledge that the employee Tatiana at the front desk was amazing!! She did everything in her power to assist me with my stay!! My rooms were not clean like they should have been but we had to make the best of it. Tatiana once again did everything she could to rectify the problems. She’s definitely an asset to this company!!! Kennedy however is a POOR EXCUSE FOR an employee!! Rude,disrespectful and just not helpful at all! She should BOT be in customer service!!

Not recommended

Elvators not working, heater in the room not working, bathroom flush problems, sink clogged, check in had back ups cause supposedly housekeepers were back up to have rooms available. First time staying here and our last for sure.
