The two clerks were speaking in Spanish to what sounded like gossiping. Hardly acknowledging me walking up. Then they continued their conversation while I’m standing waiting and treated more as an As an inconvenience than a guest,.. It was more than rude it was unprofessional. At that point, I asked them to stop. The female clerk, replied to me that she was training him. There was no part of that conversation that was training. She then began to slam different things around on the countertop, which was followed by a 10 o’clock random call from the front desk asking to verify my name. I’ve never had the hotel front desk call me at 10 o’clock at night. I do believe it was retaliatory.

It was a perfect standard casual hotel for the night. Clean and spacious, the customer service was impeccable because they were extremely sweet and accommodating. It was in a clean, safe location and was right in back of a convenience /liquor store and cute little restaurant on the side of it. I would most definitely stay here again!
