I will never stay again
Pros:

I really did like Danielle the front desk, lady. She was very polite very understanding.

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that I was charged $250 for a TV that was in my room that was broken that I reported the night of check-in with a picture that I took then the manager showed me a picture that was way worse than the picture that I had and I showed him, but he said it was the same TV and it was not and if it was, they made it worse but then they accused me of breaking it which I did not. I even had workers that vouched for me stating that I have never had any problems in the 10 years that I have stayed there. I did not like the rude lady that came down with the manager that was very disrespectful by far the worst time that I’ve ever stayed there my whole entire life and I will never return.
