9/10 Wonderful! (3,537 reviews)
The rooms are definitely not as nice as the pictures on the site makes them seem. My card got charged multiple times for unknown reasons. I brought it up to the front desk and they were very nice and the charges ended up going away, but still frustrating. Parking is ridiculously expensive for what it is. I do feel like they’re trying to scam you out on money every chance they get (i.e. charging $30 a night for a “service fee”). I don’t think it was worth the money considering there’s no pool or continental breakfast. I’m not sure I would stay here again.
