The room was clean however it had an odor. The a/c has a leak and the carpet is soaked from the leak. The microwave didn’t work and the refrigerator barely worked. House keeping often times skipped the room so I had to personally ask for a broom, clean towels, etc. The front desk staff was horrible and harassing. They have early and late check in/out fees in place. Instead of following their own protocols they like to tell guests that they’re calling the police on them. There’s a $100 deposit however I overheard a staff member telling another guest that there’s a $0 and $40 deposit option. Theres a $30 early check in fee. Late room renewal is $30 after 12pm and a full regular priced days stay after 3pm. However around 11:30 they will tell you that they’re going to call the police on you. There’s roaches in the rooms. The amenities are not accessible. The pool was out of order when I first arrived. There’s a huge trash receptacle on the property. Just in the way. Breakfast consists of white bread, cereal, oatmeal, cookies, apple juice, coffee, and milk The staff is rude. They do not know how to multitask. The door broke as a guest was arriving and instead of instructing said guest to meet one of the staff members at one of the other exit doors to be let in they just ignored her while they called maintenance or figured out what was wrong with the door. House keeping is nosy and will take pictures/remove your things out of your room if you’re not available to watch them.
