"I checked in, walked in to the room and saw the state of it and the thick smell of smoke. I waked immediately back to the front desk and turned my key in and asked for a refund. The guy at the desk wasn’t able to get management since it was so late, but made a note to them.
The next day, they refused my refund.
The place is trashy and the management is unreasonable. Don’t book here."
"The staff was great. The renovations are good. The only problem my head was the air conditioner was very noisy other than that great place great location."
