Cons:

The desk man screamed at me and was very verbally abusive!
I have witnesses. He then refused to extend my stay for 1 day cause I have too many people. It was me and my 2 caretakers. I was just released from hospital 4 days ago and I can't walk. I'm wheelchair bound.

He then proceeded to go outside and yell at 2 helpers who were assisting them.

I do not recommend!
