I regret paying for this property. The hotel advertises an EV charger, but it is not managed by them since it belongs to the ViaLynk network, so it’s misleading to list it as a perk when you don't help guests to use it and you have to figure it put how it works and how to pay. Check‑in was through a self‑service kiosk with a remote “agent” who could do little more than take payment and issue keys. Service was unhelpful and impersonal. The first room (second floor) smelled so bad that within minutes we felt nauseous. After requesting a change, we were moved to a first‑floor room where we soon spotted a mouse running across the floor. Maintenance is very poor. Furniture, bathroom fixtures, and towels were all worn out or terrible quality. The TV didn’t work, and when I asked for help, I was told the only way to use it was to leave the room door open so the DirecTV signal could reach it. We stayed the night only because it was too late to find another hotel. The next morning, cockroaches were crawling across the desk. This property is in unacceptable condition and should not be operating. Save your money and avoid this hotel.

Why not to use Hotel.com/ Expedia group.

Never went there. Cancelled our trip due to unexpected death notification in our family. Called to cancel and requested a refund but was lied to by hotel.com reps along with expedia rep! Clear as day why they were hit with a huge lawsuit for online hotel booking wrong doings! The hotel was not much help either! Waited over three weeks for a response never got one.Heartless!

Think Twice about this Place

When I checked in the amazing Puerto Rican woman was great, friendly, and informative. I did deal with another lady because our keys where damaged and she was terrible, not friendly, doesn't know how to say thank you, please, or you are welcome. Another night she told us that it was nice that you got here by 11pm because I don't now how you would get back in your room. @ nights of getting keys fixed.

Not worth it.

This room was very shabby and dirty. Thank god the sheets were clean but everything else was grubby. Dirty dusty lamp, hair on the bathroom floor, something (soda) dripping down the wall. The TV was missing the HDMI cord and didn’t work but I told the front desk and they did fix it. The satellite box is screwed to the wall next to the TV. Not a place I will ever stay again.

The elevator broke down on Friday and then again on Saturday. They asked us to not leave trash outside our door. Didn't need service except for trash. They didn't have a trashcan for us to throw away our trash. They had one for "small" amount. The front desk staff originally asked me to go and dump it in the dumpster out back. I'm doing you a favor by not asking for full service. Yet you want me to throw my trash in the dumpster. How about have a place I can put it in either on my floor or in the lobby. The front desk ended up taking my trash for me.
