"Showed up & the head lady kept saying we only paid for 1 person when we had confirmation for 2. Tried to more money out of us when we already paid for the room. The pictures online was why we got the place. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!! They had 2 queen bed pushed together with sheets that had stains all on them. No blankets, no AC. We had to ask to have the AC unit to be turned on & they said we had to pay more if we wanted AC!!!! Knowing it’s beyond hot at 8 pm. Room didn’t look like it had been used...
