Sad face IconDisliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I made a reservation for a room and when I got there they told me they “upgraded” my reservation, took me to what it looked like a basement 3 stories DOWNand they wouldn’t give me my original room because they had given it to someone else. I ended up choosing a much smaller room but more accesible. There was construction working so we couldn’t get in the pool because all the workers would stare. The last day we caught one of the workers looking into our room and got really scared.
