I reserved the rest of my stay somewhere else.

There were some black insects along the wall. We only had three pillows. The refrigerator would not cool our drinks. No laundry area.

Half the curtains were missing. No privacy. Other guests stole my delivery. Front desk didn’t do anything about it at the time, they called back after I checked out- to offer me money- for the theft the night before I asked them to look at, when I was sleeping so close to thieves, and then no a/c. Ew this place promised for the whole family partying til 3am in the parking lot with their kids and stealing other guests food- and never did anything! DO NOT STAY HERE
