Not worth the price!!!
Received a call about 4 hours before check in time asking what time we would be arriving. Gave an estimated of the check in time. Was told if we arrived after 4:00 pm, we would have to call the "on call" person to check in! Really?!!! Arrived at check in time of 3:00. Door was locked. Someone finally came to the door for us to check in. We were told if we needed anything after 4:00 we would have to call the on call person. The lobby is only open 8:00 am - 4:00pm. No worries! We were not told "no daily housekeeping" at any time. We found a card in the room. 2 people staying in the room for 2 nights. We had 2 queen beds (both as hard as a board), 3 wash cloths, 3 towels and hand towels. We did not call anyone. We did not complain. We will not stay at that hotel ever again. Spend a few more $$ and stay some place that has someone on duty!! It appeared to be clean, but dusty. Enough said.
