Worst place ever! Hard to even talk to front desk since they aren’t even there and you have to call them. Also my room ( that was supposed to be the deluxe ) had a missing heater with a huge hole in the wall with a bunch of debris all over the floor. I called front desk and their only explanation was that they didn't have a maid for the past week. Reserved for two nights but refused to stay another night in this place and did not care for a refund. Worst place ever!
