Staff was the best part of this experience. The room was the worst. Between the musty smell and the stains i could clean off myself, it was rough. But you get what you paid for so can't complain too much.

Horrible service

I arrived at 3:10 to check in, and they told me the rooms weren't ready. (Which of course is a lie; the hotel was empty.) Check-in was at 4:00 p.m. A black woman was acting very mocking. Then they told me if I wanted to get in, I had to pay an extra $27 for early check-in. By that time, it was already 3:20 a.m., so there was no room for it. Paying for early check-in 40 minutes earlier!!! Horrible!! And if you want to check out, you have to pay an extra $27. And they also pay $5 extra for parking per car... Good customer service doesn't exist here.
