Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
So I came here after contacting expedia after telling them that I got kicked out of the other property and I booked in advance and what I booked on my Expedia did not match the receipt that I received after I was kicked out of the property for again being assaulted by man in the elevator at breakfast, another man from Union Trades stalking a Vitcim of abuse and Assualt. and then having the FBI and or local police called on me. They had a sheriff dressed as the manager, he was a casino host and blackjack dealer. So thank you Ko for pretending to be fair and impartial manager. Call my lawyer Tully and Rickney, and I do work for DOJ and call Olympia and see that I’m telling the truth. Don’t tap my room and listen to my conversations. Please refund my money. 897.00 with parking I didn’t use. I parked in the outside lot for free. Call Department of Transportation. I don’t pay taxes or parking. I’m on Active Duty Chaplin leave after being shot. No thank you for the sexual advances at the bar 2 months ago. Staking harrassment and intimidation. Call Delaware, PA, MD or Andrews AFB.

This hotel seems very new. The cleanliness was top notch. The room was very spacious and the bed was super comfy. The breakfast had many various options with real ceramic plates and coffee cups and real glasses for juice and water. The parking price is steep: $30 a night and really no other parking options are available.

The only thing I didn’t like was the check in coz we arrived early around 11:30am so we left our luggage & requested for our rooms to be close to each other. However when we came back to check in one room is still dirty & this is around 6:40-7 pm. The front desk staff said their short staff do we have yo wait. The check in time is supposed yo be 4:00 pm. We waited patiently but I think that needs to be improved. We’re so tired that day being the flight started at 6:30 am & we’ve been up the whole day. One staff I remember was nice Jason, the rest on the fromt desk needs to improve their skills in dealing with people. Alittle smile or accomodating gestures like offering water etc.
