The location for this property is its best aspect! We loved that the hotel had a bus stop right outside, and that there were a lot of restaurants/stores on the same road. We also liked having a parking garage included; that was really important because of our car rental.

The bathroom had swarm of ants, I mean dozens of ants. We went to the front desk and showed an employee a video of the ants. He said sorry about that and went about his business. My wife and I literally stood there with our luggage for nearly ten minutes before I asked him what could be done. He said he couldn’t do anything for us since we made the reservation through a third party. I then asked why he didn’t say anything to us and let us stand there for ten minutes without any communication, and he remained quiet. I told him he didn’t even offer us a credit or new room, and his response was “you didn’t ask”. All we did was tell him about a serious ant issue, and he showed no concern. This was extremely poor customer service.
