Service

Would like my money back.
Pros:

I never stayed in that room. I requested a refund and have not been provided with one even though I canceled. Can I please get some help with my refund.

Cons:

Room didn't have screen on windows. No parking nearby. So I canceled but haven't been refunded.

I hated it so much I only spent 15 min in the room before finding another place to stay that night
Pros:

Nothing at all! It was disgusting. Sheets were dirty and stained no AC in the room so it was at 95 in there. I honestly hope the booking app takes this place down so no one pays for something so nasty.

Cons:

I didn’t like everything about this property!!!!
