Kayak overbooked this spot so they had no rooms available when I arrived. Needed to find alternate arrangements. Have not received refund yet and will not be booking this location again.

Cons (-) I had to sleep with clothes on because the room (210) was very cold. Also the bathroom was not clean. Someone else had left a pizza box in the garbage can and it remained there for two more days.
