I had a great experience at this place in the past. However, this time we had bed bugs in our room unfortunately. But they did make it right by giving me a refund and offered another room so they are good people but I’m just rating this pretty low for my last experience here

A bit confusing , no contact checkin , never seen a single soul. I was just about to say forget it because when you scan the QR code on the door to check in it’s as if you don’t have.a reservation and it’s just round and round . Long check in but once I figured it out . We were checked in
