Liked: Nothing at all. Disliked: The front desk is the rudest, and seemed to stereotype me. I booked online and paid for 1 night & said I didn't have to pay anything at the property. So I get there and he tried to charge me 200 for incidental, and when I told him that was ridiculous. He denied me entry, and called the cops on me. Not to mention in a bad part of the city. Said I would get a refund and nvr did.
