I didn’t like anything. I paid for a room that I couldn’t check-in to because they can’t update anything and were over booked

The sheets, the shower, the refrigerator, and the microwave were clean. That's all you need, right? Just don't touch the walls, or anything else. Check-in and check out were much more complicated than they should have been. For half the price of the Hilton down the road, this was adequate.

They overbooked so I had no room when I showed up at 10:00 pm. They did nothing to help me find another place. The same thing happened to another couple that arrived a few minutes after I did. Zero customer service
