Horrible stay

AC was leaking water into room and never cooled room. We kept telling maintenance guy but he kept saying he would fix it never did. And then I let him know that the toilet was clogged kept saying I’ll get to it when I get to it. He would never show up, then started giving attitude. Also bed was being held by buckets and I also let him know about that as well and he just kept saying he didnt know what to tell me. He was a very rude maintenance man, I’ve been staying here for over 10 years and this is one of the worst stays I ever had to deal with. The room had a bad smell of urine and feces, room rates from hotels.com are not honored when you check in. I was given a total thru hotels.com and their price was 40.00 dollars more, a lot of other tenants were complaining about same thing too.

Great for the price....but...

For the price, the room was great for a quick stay. I would have given it a 5star but there were some guest who were being rowdy and making alot of noise till 2am and i was surprised management did not ask them to stop after 10pm or so.
