Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was horrible. There was no on site parking, and when I attempted to speak with the front desk about my concerns they were dismissive and rude. I now have to go through Expedia to try and get my refund as I did not feel safe or comfortable with where they wanted me to leave my car.
