When we walked in room we got blasted with a very musty smell. It wasnt great for my allergies. We only stayed 1 night and tried to get a refund but the clerk couldnt cause it was through expedia a 3rd party. I tried to go on and get the 2nd night cancelled and it wouldnt let me. So now we are out over $100. The lady trying to help us her name is Shanika i think, was VERY nice and tried to help us.

First of all when u reserved room i reserved a king smoking room. When u got there it wasnt available. The clerk decided to argue with me about it. U was given a 2 queen bed smoking on 2nd fl. My fiance just had surgery si this was very painful for him. We get to the room and ac is leaking all iver floor. Next morning we ate mived to a w queen bed room across the hall. I was at work so my fiance moved our belongings he is given a key that morning. When we returned later that at 5pm our key isnt working and someone else is in our room. They put someone else in our room. I was finally given another room afyer arguing with them. I feel i should have been compensated in some way for the huge inconvenience but no. U will never come back. Sad part is we would frequently stay here.
