Very bad experience, the worst part is the staff are very rude and unprofessional. They did not change the bedsheets from previous guests and they said that it’s not a 5 stars hotel to expect the 5 stars services. I asked them to change the bedsheets from previous guest they refused and was very rude to me. Room was very smelling and dirty, I will never book this place again.

My stay didn’t provide a microwave nor a fridge as the advertisement offer. Property down-sized my room and didn’t adjust the expenses of my stay. I was locked out of my room my last night and went to front desk for a replacement key but front desk said they reprogrammed my key card but attempted to used the said reprogrammed key card again but it didn’t work. Called front desk repeatedly but had to wait over half hour which I explained multiple times I had to use the bathroom and couldn’t walk all the way back to front desk because I’m handicapped plus needed a restroom immediately. Front desk attendant came after I accidentally urinated on myself and was able to open my door. Received the 10:30am check out reminder call from front desk, I asked if I could be a little late as a courtesy due to my down-sized devalued stay because I was having some trouble getting an Uber to meet before 11am but was denied so I sat outside the room waiting on my Uber driver who arrived at 11:10am but I wasn’t inside the room and gave my key to manager at 11am when she came to the room due to the missed call for the 2nd 11am check out call. I was highly disappointed with my stay entirely and will not be booking here again.

The guest receptionist was not friendly. The first non-smoking room he gave smelt like cigarettes, the lights didn’t work, the walls and bed sheets were dirty and the room just looked terrible. Went to the front advised him of my issues and he says let me go to the room with you and check it out. I was like no, I need a newer, cleaner room. He shakes his head and huffs, and gives me a room inside. This room was a little more better. Did t want to keep complaining, since I was only there for 12 hours. Will not be returning here!!! Merrick you can keep this funky place..
