    From the moment we arrived, the customer service was absolutely terrible. The India woman at the front desk was extremely rude. When I was signing my paperwork, she literally tossed the pen at me. Even after I mentioned how disrespectful that was, her attitude did not improve. Things only got worse at checkout. We were only about 10 minutes past checkout time because we were loading our bags into the car, and she came outside to tell us to hurry up. There was no courtesy or professionalism whatsoever. The room itself was not much better. The bed had disgusting stains and cigarette burn marks, which made it feel unclean and poorly maintained. On top of that, the staff tried to claim that I hadn’t paid for my stay. I had to pull up my reservation and payment confirmation on the app to prove that I had already paid. The only positive thing I can say is that the restroom was nice. Unfortunately, one decent bathroom does not make up for rude staff, poor customer service, and an unclean room. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I will never stay here again, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

    The room was nice but the bed wasn’t clean when we got there, I had to dust off the sheets because I could feel crumbles of stuff on the bed and there was a big band aid on the inside of the bathroom door just left there. So overall very nice modern room but it didn’t feel very clean.

    The blinds gotta go. People are so nosy and look thru the blinds to what is up your watching. Mind your business. Suggest get a curtains all black out is a standard.. and the floors squeaks instead putting plastic linol or whatever could’ve simply get cheap tiles.or stick to carpet. People are so nosy what is they doing. Saying They walk too much. And the TV are too big for a small room no wonder everyone is into your business. And HDMI don’t work. I know my ways around tv setting ya do this on. Purpose. It’s nice room but the blinds just ruined the sense of privacy.

    The room was a comfortable clean room for sure . The room is definitely updated and looks better in person then the pictures. Shower was extra clean and updated . What made me not come want to come back was the guy who was at the front desk . He was walking around the property at 10:50 knocking on room doors with an upsetting face telling people they need to leave because it’s time to go . I took my first bag to the car and he approached me with his hand out asking for the room key at 10:55am and check out wasn’t til 11. They don’t have irons , or blow dryers, and the parking at night IS BEYOND HORRIBLE ! your car will be trapped by someone else’s be cause parking is not organized at all . Bed was comfortable though .
