It was ok for the most part but I do feel like the front desk area could be a little better as far as in workers with co
Pros:

I loved the room. The room was clean and real nice. Real spacious.

Cons:

I just didn’t like how when I booked it never said anything about a $100 deposit and then when it came time for me to check in, a guy mentioned it and I let him know that it never said that on the app and he did work with me. But I feel they have to be better when having your hotel on sites. Then when I wanted to extend the stay the guy told me they were sold out but if they were sold out booking.com wouldn’t have had any availability’s and he didn’t even check the computer neither he just looked at me after I asked about extending and said we are sold out.
