Uncomfortable, possibly unsafe.

Had problems checking in, they double billed me. They only had make your pancakes and waffles, no eggs except hard boiled and after one bit it didn’t taste good and had to throw it out. The drapes didn’t close all the way I had to tape them together.

I walked into the room and saw cockroaches, eatwig skins, flies and boreholes that were patched and painted over, they wouldn't mive me or refund me because i used 3rd party site. I left immediately. Not happy. So they can literally put u in a dumpster and u cant do anything because of booking through 3rd party?
