Pros:

I was checked into a dirty 2 room suite, there was a strangers hat left on the floor plus blood on the bathroom floor and wall. When i complained i was told i would have to downgrade my room, which was not an option. Long story short it was a5 day long ordeal to get 1/2 my stay refunded, through points because they wouldn't just refund my money. The hotel assistant manager and general manner were very rude and didn't deal with the issue to my satisfaction. I would bypass this hotel everytime.

Pros:

Great place. Only issue was the bathroom door didn’t close, and one of the lampshades fell off in the middle of the night and scared us a little bit. Other than that, no issues. Was clean and quiet!
