Cons:

They charged $50 as deposit, but after about a week I found the amount had been posted, not returned. I called and asked them why, they said they didn't have the card information to return. I wasn't carrying a physical card so I unlocked my iPhone and let them tap. Is it their first day to use Apple Pay so they didn't know the card information was hidden? Why hadn't they asked for me card info in the first place when they knew it was an iPhone? Moreover, why didn't they just unfreeze the amount so that it won't be posted, which is a common practice for any other hotels. Does it mean that the money would have been theirs if I didn't notice it?

rude staff, nasty room, they keep your deposit!
Pros:

nothing good about this property. they’re scammers.

Cons:

it was dirty disgusting had roaches. front desk was extremely rude. the entire place smelled like cigarettes. they had me write down my credit card number to refund the deposit that they never refunded. i ended up paying 100$ for the trashiest room i’ve ever seen, left it better then i found it and still never got my deposit back.
