The Manager is not cooperative. The heater in my room was not working, I went to the front disk and and told the front desk employee that room is cold. He said I can’t do anything, after some argument he was ready to fight with me and called the police. Eventually I slept in my very cold room. I swear until 2 or 2 o’clock in the morning I didn’t fall asleep. The next day I talked to the front desk Manager, he said he would fix it. I asked again when do you fix iit? He raised his voice on me and loudly said, as soon as the maintenance guy comes. My feeling told me that he was lying. In the evening I came back to the hotel the room was very cold and the heater was not working. I went to the front desk a young man was at the front desk. He was kind enough to put me in another room which was warm. I swear to God what I wrote is true. I know it is hard to believe how a front disk manager could be so rude to rais his voice on a gust. The employee was so impolite, and his behavior clearly telling you that he was from a low class person. I never had such terrible experience in my life with a front desk manager and employee.

The fist room they gave me had not been cleaned. The second room door didn't want to open with the room key. Once the key worked after about 50 tries, I had to almost kick down the door just to open it. Some of the lamps in the room didn't work, and one recessed light in the bathroom was falling apart. Terrible experience overall.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Horrible. Went through several rooms before found one where everything works (one room probably got mold exposure from entering) but no microwave or coffee maker. Took 6 days to get brought to room. Racist against Hispanics desk clerk. Stayed over a month and given worst room, as far from lobby as possible. Horrible customer service. Charged twice and a $850 charge out of nowhere which I luckily caught and fixed. There is nobody to complain to higher up or corporate affiliate. Most of the hotel isn't even used. If I had to guess I would say it's only a front to launder money. Don't stay here.
