- BFBree FerrettiNov 18, 20251.0I would give this hotel 0 stars!! DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR STUFF STOLEN FROM YOUR ROOM! They will not take responsibility and they will tell you there is nothing that can be done about it. Absolutely the worst customer service from a hotel that you pay a decent amount of money to stay at. This has now happened with two of my family members. UNACCEPTABLE.
