Room was too small and got. We were warned about the shared bathroom but expected cleaning. Also expected help with suitcase to 2nd floor after telling the man I had a bad shoulder. Instead I was told “it’s only one fight”. You are WAY too expensive for that treatment.

Had a series of medical issues that precluded me from staying for my wife’s 65th. Policy is cancellation no potential to reschedule. I wanted to go in off season as rescheduling, but no. Crappy customer service. I didn’t plan on being hospitalized just prior.
