6/10 Okay

The property was very clean & convenient location. Checking in was a little different. The clerk was rude & very dismissive. The hotel's amenities were very good, but there's no excuse for rudeness in the hospitality industry.

My stay was good. Other than not knowing or seeing that there was an additional $100 security deposit to pay when I got to the hotel. I enjoy the fact that I can book without paying upfront. It was clean, staff were nice.
