    “Some lady was able to open my hotel room door on the last day at approx 10:40am and checkout wasn’t until 11. I was getting dressed and some drunk woman opened my door and I had to yell at her to stop it. Front desk said “Well we didn’t issue her a key to your room so we don’t know how it could happen.” They said they’d comp the parking for my troubles but didn’t even end up doing that! Room wasn’t in great shape looked like a cum stain on one of the curtains. Wouldn’t recommend staying here at all for the price try the kimpton down the road.”
