Critter and dirty hotel

This hotel looked good in pictures. Checked in left our stuff and went out to enjoy our family time. Got back late and tired That when we walked into the bathroom there was hair on the bath tub, the ceiling had daddy long legs the shower curtain had like what looked mold. In the sink area we saw little ants and baby roaches. Plus they didn’t even take out the hangers that were left behind. On one of the beds the sheets were dirty that I we slept on our towels. We didn’t complain because it was late and the next day we left early to go enjoy SPI. We stayed 2 nights Friday and Saturday. Yet I guess it’s true what they say you get what you paid but even at that we paid about $400.

Josue

The stay was okay. Did have issues with the television I had to log in using my phone with a code that was given through the television. They have extra charges for example I got there at 2:50 pm and check-in wasn't until 3:30 pm so if I wanted to check in early I had to pay $15 extra. Also, if I had two vehicles they charge $30 extra for a second parking pass.
