Half the curtains were missing. No privacy. Other guests stole my delivery. Front desk didn’t do anything about it at the time, they called back after I checked out- to offer me money- for the theft the night before I asked them to look at, when I was sleeping so close to thieves, and then no a/c. Ew this place promised for the whole family partying til 3am in the parking lot with their kids and stealing other guests food- and never did anything! DO NOT STAY HERE

The check in person was not friendly or welcoming and charged a $100 deposit not mentioned in the booking info but that’s often standard. The room was literally 90° when we got there and the AC took several hours to cool the room down enough to sleep. Not a good experience.

I had to stand outside waiting to be checked in, we arrived at 11:30pm and I stayed outside ringing the doorbell for almost 10 min. I was tired and ready to cancel my reservation. Rooms were not clean, sheets and towels had markings. Bed had a piece of dirty“Kleenex” and it was very unpleasant.
