Pros:

Well I request a smoking room. And said we wanted a irst floor room. Because I am handicapped and can't go up and down stairs very well. When we got there . We found out the smoking rooms were on the second floor and there was only stairs. So wanted to change room to first floor. They wanted to charge me another 35 dollars to change to a non smoking room on first floor. I will never say there again. And the guy at the desk. Couldn't hardly speck English
