Had to change rooms because the first room the carpet was soaked. The second room toilet was not working and the A/C had a mind of its own. Either you freeze or you sweat as the thermostat was not working. Then they charged my credit card without my authorization or knowledge that I had to pay for parking. Terrible experience. Do not recommend, not worth the price the rooms should be $79 a night.

When we arrived and checked in. In the room found popcorn on the floor and what appeared to be blood stains on the shower curtain. Took an hour to get another shower curtain.
