4/10 Poor

Cheysser

Rooms were clean, very little insulation so could hear everything and everyone in the vacinity. There was a family that was having an argument, yelling and screaming around 9ish and you could hear all the drama. Didn't seem like there was enough staff as there wasn't anyone at the front desk for longer than needed to check a person in.

Was not allowed to stay there and they kept my money. Tried to overcharge my credit card. I have a limit that i put in place on my credit card. They said they were only charge $250 , but it must have been more, otherwise the charge would have gone through. Terrible service.
