This is a dirty hotel which expects its guest to pay for a dirty room in the age of COVID. Despicable. I was then lied to by staff that management would take care of it. Never heard anything from management. Surprising seeing as I paid $2000 for a week. Save your money or better yet, stay ant the Marriot, and don’t believe these filthy liars.

Lovely room. Nice staff. However, we hung our towel, as we were told, for reuse yet, we still got fresh towels each day. The bathroom needs a fan and the door knob was installed upside down. The security lach was broken.
