The property was overpriced given the condition of the bathroom. It had not been updated since the 80s. Plus the maid staff was not as professional as you want when staying in a $600 plus a night hotel.

Manager was an absolute nasty person. When my room key didn’t work I went main desk was politely telling a desk worker the key wasn’t working and she was helping. The manager I believe Liesha came out and waved her hand at me like I was dog. I asked if I did something wrong and she began berating me in public saying I talked to her staff badly. I did not the clerk was nice and i was nice back. The manger was nasty rude and would not stop then walked away slaming a wall door behind the counter. Ruined my trip….and night. Sad indeed.
