We had a really late check in and so we called and the staff was great. We didn’t arrive until 2 am and unfortunately it had no 24 front desk agent and unfortunately when we got there our room was dirty. There was hair and black feet prints in the shower, the hot water kept turning on and off while we were showering. So every couple of seconds the water would just stop altogether and then it would eventually start flowing again. Altogether paying a pretty hefty fee to stay was unfortunate. The staff was very sweet and nice and gave us all the information to check in so late so I appreciate the front desk lady who helped us!
