We arrived at the hotel at 11:00PM(I had called earlier that day to let them know if our late arrival) there were no rooms ready and the lobby was full of guests waiting for rooms. The front desk staff went above and beyond trying to accommodate guests. They had to go check for clean rooms to check guests in, but they handled it like pros! Guests rooms are old and worn.

I didnt like that I paid for the room 3 weeks before we came, checked in around 5pm only to be told our room wasnt available(basically didnt hold our room and gave it away) and was put in a lower cost room and wasnt refunded any difference. We paid for a loft room and ended up in a very small room.
