The room was pretty clean, but had a slight musty smell. We thought the virtual check-in was a little weird, but it worked.

The room was very clean and the daily service was great. Breakfast was very good. The virtual attendant kiosk to check in was a very unpleasant experience. Im sure there are local people who could benefit from this job....please revert to in person onsite night attendants

We paid 90$ for the hotel room which was a great deal, however we checked out a little after 9am and at noon my card was charged an extra $450. I called the hotel to ask why my card is being charged $450 and the person on the phone told me they would call me back. They never called me back. My girlfriend then called in around 2:30 to ask again about the $450 charge and she was told we were charged for a smoking fee. The problem with that is that we didn’t smoke in the room at all. In fact, we went out to the designated smoking area the only time we smoked. I have called back multiple times and now they won’t even answer my number. This place is a total scam. Overcharged me $450 3 hours after we left and we didn’t even smoke in the room and wouldn’t return a phone call to explain.
