Breakfast closes at 8:30. And they didn’t tell me what the hours were when I checked in and when I did get coffee early, there was very little set out for breakfast.
The room was fine. Front desk wasn’t friendly.
I got in around 1 am and the staff was very nice and helpful . I had to make some transfers and the staff stayed courteous and patient with me the entire time it was so helpful keeping me calm. The rooms were nice and clean with ample space I had a great time. I will return for sure
You all need to get a grip on the moldy atmosphere in your entire complex, rooms, main halls. Don't like coming out of your facility the next day, coughing up luggies the size of golf balls. Get it right, if the room is going to be occupied the particular day, turn on the A/C. This BS of letting a room or your facility get HUMID and MOLDY is unacceptable.
You won't see us there again EVER
The rooms were not clean. Somebody had taken a crap in the room and left it before we even got in there. There were roaches in our room. It stunk most of the staff was rude. We asked to switch rooms because of the roaches and the lady at the front desk couldn’t have been any Router, but on a positive note the lady serving the breakfast in the morning was very nice.
