Typically it’s a great experience. The last 2 visits were horrible. The visit before this one I was severely overcharged. This visit the room wasn’t too clean, I rushed to checkout starting at 7 AM, and I was exhausted. For this to be a new hotel the shower was full of rust. My original room wasn’t ready when I arrived after 3 PM. I need the owners information.

Over Priced

Broken glass on the kitchen floor and in the sink. Shower door would not stay closed. The pet fee was a bit extreme seeing as the condition and cleanliness of the room was obviously lacking in the first place.

The desk clerk had me as a no show and over charged me. She had me staying under another guest name and when I went to check out they couldn’t find me. I was charged a significant large amount when it was totaled to be much less than that when reserved days prior. She told me the price changed because the room I reserved was no longer available. Upon check out, no one ever booked the room.
