Chance

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
overall it was okay and the room was clean, but looking in the room there was some obviously missed cleaning spots as well as torn up parts from other patrons. I was overall fine with it, but the one thing that frustrated me the most is being denied a late checkout. I was in town running Dam to DSM and I just wanted an extra hour on my checkout so I could enjoy post race festivities and not rush back, but they refused even an hour extra for checkout.
