Adriana

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I arrived on February 14th to find a hostile and unsafe environment, including illegal loitering and activity in the parking lot. Because the property was uninhabitable and safety was compromised, I vacated the premises immediately. I did not stay in the room after checking in and no service was provided. I am requesting a full refund. Regards, Adriana
