IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I COULD. THIS WAS BY FAR THE WORST HOTEL EVER. Idek where to start? Parking was listed as free on here and when we got there they said it was $15 a day! Bathroom was disgusting and filthy. And worst of all, the room key cards never worked! We had to wait 1 hour for them to try and open our door. It took them 3 hours to fix the situation and break the lock. And mind you we came back from exploring the city at around 11pm. In the meanrime, they told us to shift into the spare room, but all of our necessary items were in the locked room. What's more?? The heater in the new room didnt work!! We were shivering as we finally fell asleep. Then tbey next day the new room keys didn t work again. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Tbis place is such a scam and bad experience, Im surprised people even left good reviews here. They must be fake reviews cuz this place SUCKS! STAY AWAY
