Worst experience ever
Customer service by the front desk was very rude and unprofessional. We stayed on the 2nd floor, management watches you like a hawk, I felt uncomfortable at my stay here. I’m being 100% I would not recommend this place at all.

Poor customer service
I called to cancel my reservation due to a family emergency and the person who answered the phone was new and didn’t know if I would be penalized. She took my number and promised to have someone call me and they never did.

I was awakened on 2 mornings at 4am by a chirping fire alarm in my room. They promised to discount my stay but didn’t. I ask mgr to call me—he didn’t. I emailed general mgr—no response. They are willing to accept poor reviews rather than provide good customer service or keep their word.
