Clean Room. Fine for the rate paid. However, it was a Deluxe King Suite with full kitchen. However, they offer no utensils, plates, cup, pans, nothing. Very odd that it was not mentioned in the listing that nothing was supplied. I went and purchased the necessities and upon return the power was out to the neighborhood. No lights no heat. Not the properties fault as weather was in the area. But, there was no one attending the property and the listed number for the property did not work. No way to check in or check out. Il ultimately left after 3 hours in the dark and contacted Expedia. I was rebooked at another property and was assured a full refund would be given.

Very disappointed! When we got to our room as soon as we turned lights on we had a lot of little roaches scattering everywhere. Even in the bathroom so disgusting! We went to front desk to complain they offered another room but still didn’t feel comfortable staying there. We obviously left and didn’t stay and asked them for a refund. They denied our refund, another disappointment. Will not be booking here again!

Staff didn’t want to keep the front desk open they insisted everyone use the outside kiosk, despite the fact they were sitting in the lobby. The kitchen had no “real vent” so the room got Smokey when you cooked. We had neighbors who were fighting and breaking stuff all night long inside their room and outside their room for 2 nights. We set us our room in day 2 to have the housekeeping clean. No one came. We had to use the kiosk yet again just to get garbage bags and towels even tho again the staff was sitting at the lobby desk. The outsourced guest help told us we didn’t get room service because we didn’t answer the door. So on day 3 room service came by and they “couldn’t clean the room because we were in there.” But they handed us garbage bags and towels.
