The man who works the front dress and breakfast area was very rude to me, just because their key card didn’t work for me though I slid it in the usual way twice. I’ll never go back there.

Ive not woke up in so much pain, the bed and "pillows" were so hard I couldnt even move to get out of the bed. Had to take 2 extra strength Tylenol before I could move. The breakfast was sad. This isnt worth more the $50 a night even as a pass through 1 nighter. It definitely looked questionable pulling in to, the pictures make it look better than reality. There were 2 lights out and the shower curtain rod was bent and you couldn't close the shower curtain as it just slid back to the middle. All around not a great experience other than the staff.
