Pros:

Rude front desk service from REMI, unbeknownst to me she put me &my 60yld mother on a DO NOT RENT LIST... That way our 205$+deposit we proceeded to book for an additional night would be charged for a room we weren't even going to be able to stay in! WHY? smoking on their property even though they have megalithic ash trays that say "cigarettes here"???!!!!
