There was no bedding ( sheets, blankets or pillows) for the sofa bed in the room. Luckily we had a small blanket in our car to use. Also there was no hot water in the shower. Had a cold shower in the morning. Also, was not aware that this location was not an actual hotel. It’s an apartment building that you have to check into at another location.

They did not have the room ready by the time we arrived, had to wait two hours for it to be cleaned, and we had to get the room key from an office 3 miles away. Poor responsiveness on part of the staff. Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere.

I called to check-in, and they notified me that they were a satellite hotel, so I had to pick up my keys at their main hotel. I didn’t mind this, but I did mind that when I showed up they said they could not find my reservation. It was at this time that they canceled my reservation all together and told me I could upgrade and stay at their hotel. I didn’t want that so I asked for my refund. I politely told them to please just give me my refund, and not make me have to waste my time to get my money back. They said okay, but they never did, and I had to waste my time calling customer support to get my money back. I understand having to drive to a different location to get some keys, but to waste someone’s time especially when they’re being cooperative with you is just sleezy.

Great stay

I read the reviews after booking the stay and I was skeptical but it was better than I’ve could’ve imagine. The apartment was clean and cozy. It was perfect for two people. The only complaint I would have is the check in was at another location. There is a parking fee too.
