Done staying here.

I had checked in on the ap. Yet despite that, the desk marked me as a no show to a paid reservation. When I arrived. Charged me for another night to fix her mistake at my expense. Still trying to get my money back. Also figured out why house keeping taking so long. The lady on the 5th floor stood with her cart on her phone for about 2 hours before she started doing anything.

Everything was great until after settled I opened the closet and saw a bra and other clothing on the shelf and floor. Completely ruined our stay, how clean is the rest of the room. Front desk staff was very apologetic and removed it but....... not impressed, never come here or recommend the place.
