Disliked: Staff & service
It wouldn’t have been bad if they didn’t charge me a random 92 dollars on top of charging me for the room because the guy at the front desk didn’t know how to charge a 3rd party site like Expedia that I booked through. All in all ended up paying 440 dollars for a one night stay. Now I’ve got to wait 4-5 days to get my money back just ridiculous
