Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I didn’t like this property at all. My room had two queen beds and the room was so small, the beds took up all of the space, and there was nowhere to move around, or sit. When I inquired about moving rooms, the front office staff was very unhelpful and when I asked to be moved to a sister hotel that had more room in their rooms, I was told that was not possible because I did book directly through the hotel, I booked through Expedia. basically, everything I inquired about, everything I asked for, I was declined, and my stay was subpar.
