Anniversay celebration
Unfortunately, there was no elevator at the location preventing access too the second floor. My wife's knee disability prevented her from taking the stairs. There were no more rooms available. However, the manager did authorize a refund for the two remaining nights.
My Labor Day weekend stay was nice. The pictures on the site are representative of the property. No issues to report the property was quite and for me the location was fine. Close to the airport and shopping.
No soaps or shampoos in the toilet. Not even a trashcan in the room. There’s a rundown front desk office which is only open during the business hours.. And the manager lady is extremely rude and condescending.
