I would never stay at this hotel again, even if it was a free option
Pros:

The only thing that I did like about the hotel was the location. It was in an area where there are a lot of great food options, transportation is readily available. Nothing else worked about the hotel.

Cons:

The beds were uncomfortable, the temperature of the room was not adequate, along with the room being small, the room did smell of smoke, although I did request a non-smoking room online and when I arrived to double check, I was in informed that it would be a non smoking room.

So the property call me 2 days before my reservation and tell me they didn’t have availability and to cancel they reservation, and that they will have me the money back, and pretty much I got scammed because I lost my money
