Think twice before you stay there.

Wanted almost 30 minutes to check in with only one person ahead of me. Manager plus another employee stocking snack store without caring that there were 4 people in line. Hotel was old but clean. Advertises a bar buts it’s in another hotel. They put us in a room next to an outdoor concert going on and heard loud music all night. I asked the same rude front desk person about a certain street and see just saying go left, I asked her north, south east or west and she said, I don’t know just go left. She was mad I was taking her time and rude.
