The room was lovely and the stay was great up until the point of checkout. I received a voicemail saying they’re charging me $150 for damages on a picture frame. I called them to inquire and they said they were going to send a picture. A picture never came and they have not answered any more of my calls. I was provided with no evidence or explanation. I have called 6 times and they keep telling me that the manager is busy. I would love to get this resolved.

the place was not clean. The sheets and stuff had holes in them. we did not even stay 10 mins and we left. no refund was done just our deposit and even he said that would take few days to receive. I wouldn’t recommend this if u have kids and are planning to stay with kids. I find the parking spot was not safe either. Safety was not as well. The hotel doorknob barely worked well… very bad experience will never go

The bathroom and shower was not great. The shower was old, and leaked all over the floor. It just seemed old, and cheaply renovated.
