Not what we paid for
Room we reserved wasn’t available for us on check in, the charged us pet fees when we didn’t have any animals with us, when they tried to give a discount they charged an additional cha he instead… breakfast was not good and the breakfast area was extremely small. Maid service left dirty washcloth in the tub..
