The staff was amazing! Anytime there is something wrong with the room. The maintenance was on top of it. If I would call the front desk and ask for more towels. I would have them in seconds.

Guy at front desk was a little sketchy not very welcoming. TV in room 121 did not work was way too difficult to figure out how to watch ANYTHING. Couldn’t phone the front desk because there was NO phone! Went to take a shower only to find out there’s NO way to turn from bath to shower head. Once again NO phone to call front desk. Also we seen a ROACH when we first walked in.

There are some homeless that are around that make you uncomfortable. My suggestion is they need night security, to keep away the riff Raff.
