MARC

First room smelled like smoke and the door didn’t close properly and wouldn’t lock. They moved us to a different room which was much better. Then the unreal happened, NO HOT WATER!! 2 days we couldn’t take a shower and the front desk apologized and said there was nothing they could do. Offered us a 20% discount off 1 day. Never actually gave us the refund even though they stated they would. 2 things you should get when staying at a hotel a safe place to sleep and a place to clean such as a shower. I called a few days after our stay to get a refund and they still haven’t responded back. It’s been 10 days.
