Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
They tried to put us in a dirty room, not even touched by house cleaning yet. The next room they gave us was a bit bigger. When we came back from dinner we found a strange man in our room doing maintenance. We complained and asked for a full refund, looking to stay somewhere else that night. Because of the awful experience, but we were told no, and we could only have a 20% discount on a future stay at that same Hotel. To which I am never staying again.

Needed to find a hotel quickly after our condo flooded, so we stayed here because it was nearby! Staff were exceptionally kind, professional, and accommodating. They helped us get access to some basic hygiene necessities and made it easy for us to extend our stay without having to change rooms!
