Liked: Staff & service
Didn’t meet expectations at all. Room was not as comfortable as I expected, needs more places to put things down. Room was dirty, floor had chunks of hair/dust. There was a gap under the door to the room that was big enough to put my fingers under…had to put a pillow to block it so bugs didn’t get in. The walls in the bathroom had scuff marks and dents all over, likely from the recent renovations. Needs a hook for towels rights outside of shower so you don’t have to step out. Property was confusing to navigate and there were no maps. For the price it definitely wasn’t worth it, I would’ve rather stayed somewhere more established for equal price or more. Won’t be staying here again unless some Big big changes are made. Rooftop was nice enough and had lots of seating options. Don’t like writing reviews like this but feel people need to know what they’re paying for.
