Dec 7, 2025

As soon as we checked in and were given access to our room we found bed bugs in our bed. We talked to the front desk and they switched us to another room. When we went in the second room we walked in and the floor was sticky and the room was dirty. We went back to the front desk to check out. We also made contact with this site and the operator was less than helpful. After a lot of frustration I am still waiting on my refund and had to locate another room.
