It was a nice property but once I got in my room smelled like weed and I had plumbing issues I notified the front desk and they didn’t care. They said they were gonna go upstairs and check it out and try to put me in a different room, but staff never even bothered to go check it out or to give me a call to follow up or put me in a different room The people next to my room were super loud till like 4:30 AM
