Someone knocked on our door three different times between 12-1 am. I opened the door each time with no one there. The assumed it was kids so I called the front desk to let them know. They advised it was actually them/the hotel but didn’t have a good reason??? Regardless, I was highly irritated and couldn’t sleep the rest of the night.

The check in staff had no personality. I never saw anyone even smile. Forbid I ask any questions, it was like it caused pain to them. The bed and pillows were terrible!!! The mattress evidently hasn’t been changed in many years. Possibly one of the worst beds ever.
