The lady in the reception took very long to help me. I asked to changed rooms due to so many loud air blowing machines in the 2nd floor, right next to my room. (rooms got flooded) Apparently there were no other rooms available. I am very disappointed with customer service. Rooms were very clean the only great thing about this hotel. I will never booked a room again. Customer service is not good at all. There are better hotels next to this one. Now I know.

There’s a parking fee of $20 that I didn’t know when I made a reservation. And I had a free breakfast option included in my stay but the server brought me a check I think for tips. It was a self serve breakfast and there shouldn’t be a check.

Room was fine, people staying there were horrible. Woke up to the smell of marijuana at 5 am the first night, then dog poop the next day… apparently the staff spoke with the person responsible after the marijuana incident but the dog poop proves otherwise.
