The room was infested with bugs. Coachroaches crawling all over the room. My daughter immediately went to the front desk to check out and cxl the stay. The lady at the desk said to call Expedia. I tried to get my money back for three nights and they won’t refund me the $500.

The hotel is very pet friendly and we had a good sized ground floor which is nice with the ageing dog. The staff at the front desk could use a smile and personality. She did know what she was doing and was very efficient.
