The place was a little weird. The staff was rude. And for a family of 5 we were put in a room that did not accommodate all of us. Even when I told the front desk that there are 5 of us and all he said was okay and gave me an extra blanket. Their parking lot manager or whatever he was hounded us as soon as we entered and forcing me out of the car to check in before my husband was allowed to park the car and he seemed to harass us about card keys when we tried to check out. I had told him I still haven’t checked out and that didn’t matter to him. I won’t be coming back here that’s for sure.
