Didn’t receive new towels even after requesting at the front desk. Washroom kept locked and refused to unlock it by the front desk person. I told her I needed to use the restroom and why was it locked? She told me it’s their policy. When I request her that your breakfast opens at 7am then why you have your washroom not available? I couldn’t get any satisfiing reply. My question is aren’t Choice Hotel required to have an active washroom during the food service operational??? Please don’t offer this property on Expedia anymore. It was Sunday June 1st between 6:50am to 7:10am. Thank you.
