Unprofessional manager who often used foul language and overreacted when asked to compensate us for lack of internet by kicking us out in 30 minutes to refund our last night when all I asked for was “some compensation”.

I wouldn’t come back here if they paid me to. The customer service was terrible, over the phone and in person. I was yelled at and treated poorly because they didn’t understand my question. The place is dirty. Walking on the carpet left our feet black, the door hadn’t been wiped, there were hairs in the tub. The monitors in the rooms beeped every so often all day and night.

Our room was quite dirty. The refrigerator was yellow inside the cable wires for the television we’re sticking out of the wall, not connected, the manager did come in and connect it, but it was rigged and not properly placed. I ended up taking a shower and was creaking so much. I thought I was gonna fall through the floor.
