Felt right at home, especially since they have a feral pet cat that has been there since they built the hotel... her name is Holiday ♥️ 😽 ‼️

The hotel itself was very clean. There were two primary concerns with the room.
1) the bed was lumpy and uncomfortable.
2) The blackout blind was 5 inches too short from closing and the bed was very close to the window. So in the morning the light came in and woke us up at 7AM.
In the morning when I brought it to the front desks attendance they offered to give me 1000 point of rewards. When I asked what I could do with them they said put it towards another nights stay. But when I asked how many rewards I needed, they said it would be 20000 for one nights stay.
They asked me to leave a review on their site, but you can't log into their site. It says call customer service.
The next time I think I will go down the road and stay at a more reputable hotel chain.
CHANGE YOUR MATRESSES AND FIX YOUR BLINDS. WE ALL STAY AT HOTELS TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!
