When we went to check in they couldn't find our reservation from my name. Then when they pulled up our confirmation number it has someone else's name on it. If it wasn't for my husband getting stern with them I'm not sure they would have honored my proof of our reservation. When we went back to get our key we overheard other people having the same issues we did. They really need to fix their system with this.

Poor service

I checked in on Friday, June 27. First the tv wasn't working. I called front desk and they said no maintenance person till Saturday and then mold in the shower. No maintenance came Saturday to work on the tv so we had no tv from Friday to Sunday when we checked out.

Cheap room, cheap amenities

I was here for 5 nights. Ice machine broken the whole week. The AC/heat unit in the room did not work. No tissue paper in room. Bath tub had multiple patch jobs on it. When I asked for new towels, they had me go to their laundry room and get it myself. A few good things, they had a security guard at night. Inexpensive room. Gave out a parking pass to make sure you were staying there.
