I didn't even stay for a myriad of reasons and they won't give me my money back. The parking is dirty and so is the lobby. The clerk was one of the rudest people I've met in my entire life. I highly recommend no one stay here.

Everything was great. Only two things hampered our stay. They were the elevator was very slow and little pressure in the shower. Other than those 2 small things everything was excellent, especially the clerks at the front desk at check in and check out were outstanding in every manner. They should be commended.
