Not recommended, rude front desk ladies.

I would not recommend this hotel if you’re looking for friendly service or a pleasant stay. The customer service was very disappointing. The front desk closed the restaurant 30 minutes before the posted hours because of a wedding, and when I called to see if the kitchen could still prepare something (well within their normal service time), the front desk lady was rude and dismissive. She said she “couldn’t communicate with them” — no effort to help, no alternative offered. The next morning, I asked if I could check out just 15 minutes late, and again the same front desk staff member was rude. Not even because she said no, but because of her tone and body language — unprofessional and unwelcoming. On top of that, the rooms smell old and humid, which makes the overall experience even worse. Definitely not a good place to stay if you want somewhere comfortable with friendly people.

Our check-in process was uncomfortable, as the supervisor on duty was embarrassing the receptionist who checked us in. I did not notify the receptionist that we brought our fur baby so we were booked on the wrong floor, easy fix, my mistake. The supervisor ushered us back to the front desk and stood over the poor receptionist as she changed our room. I asked her why she was being rude to her and standing over her shoulder, I'm sure she was more than able to change the room appropriately. she replied, "I'm her supervisor and I want to ensure she does it right". The receptionist did not seem new, and she checked us in perfectly with no issues. The supervisor was not friendly to us, I can only imagine how she behaves when guests are not around.
