Hotel Management canceled our stay halfway through after having an a medical emergency that required an ambulance to take me out for surgery. When I was released two days later from the hospital my family still correctly state at the hotel they moved us to the handicap room and then complained of plumbing issues that we did not have issues with only to find out it was next to the resident employee on the property.

No water pressure. Shower head was very old and disgusting. Told front desk I did not want service. Employee could not have cared less what I was saying. Sure enough came into my room while I was gone. Door would not open all the way-broke. Don’t book, this place is a dump.
