Investigate before you cancel rooms
Pros:

I loved the price an the fact that I didn't have to pay a deposit.

Cons:

The staff did not handle an issue that came up properly and canceled my room without doing proper investigation to come to the conclusion that the manger came to. His decision cost me a lot of money that I wasn't prepared to pay. I just wish the manager what have did a better job on that. Also, the young lady who runs the front desk has an issue with black Americans. I saw her treat others with the utmost respect,but when it came to me an my folks the energy was different...the floors in the rooms are not being cleaned I cleaned them myself an my towel was black . Other than that my stay was fine , up until.

False advertising and needs to be remodeled it smelled horrible.
Cons:

The property confirmed they could accommodate my mom’s disabled patient by providing a room that was accessible, when we arrived they did not provide this and have yet to refund our money for the one day they checked out early.
