Aaron

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room had scuff marks everywhere in the room along the walls. The best part was being woken up to full on jackhammering that shock us out of bed with no prior knowledge or information from the staff. When I asked the front desk about it, they acted like I was crazy. I have videos recording the sound and pictures of the work being done. I immediately reached out to Expedia who started resolving the situation. Otherwise the location was fantastic but wished they cared about their guests.
