Disliked: Staff & service
I liked the location because it was very accessible to public transit. When I arrived the system was down so we were unable to check in. At the time of check out I received a bill for $100 more than what was told to me booking through Expedia. The front desk couldn’t do anything about it because it was 4:30am and his Supervisor wasn’t in yet. He told me he will have the Supervisor call me since I had an early flight so he can fix the billing. I received no calls but instead they stole my money out of my account. Don’t trust nope of the workers because they will smile in your face then rob you blindly. Now I have to dispute with my bank because they took more money than they should have.
