Rude staff
Well the night staff was very rude upon check in. I do not reside in that city anymore however my I.D is from there, so I was told bluntly if you don’t have $250 in cash for a deposit you will have to go somewhere else, our rules changed last month! And the third party should have told you. Also they don’t offer bottle water for free to a third part reservation.
