Unprocessed refund.

I never got to stay because I forgot my id. That’s not the main problem though, I asked for a refund online and in person because I booked for the hotel within the hour of me arriving there and I never got it. I want my money back please.

Horrible

Parking was $60 a night. Paid the first day then they charged me again when I checked out. We were smoking a cigarette out front, and the worker told us we couldn’t be there smoking but the lady he was just trying to flirt with wasn’t a problem even though she was smoking too. Horrible for price

Lo único que no me gustó es que casi te obligan a parquear con ellos en el valet parking por 61 dólar diario, justo en todos los alrededores hay muchos más parqueos públicos y ellos te dicen que no hay para que pagues su tarifa , es lo único que no me gustó , por lo demás todo bien

Private rooms were nice although whole building has a musty smokey smell. Bed was comfortable, shower was great with awesome water pressure. Only real complaint is paper thin walls where he had to to listen to a couple break up for 6 hours.
