During a multi day stay, I expect a made bed, clean towels, & coffee pot refreshed. This should happen automatically, but since Covid, it doesn’t. It has to be requested. Customers do not receive reduced pricing but services are certainly reduced!

Trip was cancelled by management without reason. The stress put me into a epileptic seizure and I am writing this from the hospital. I had no problems with management and then I make reservations to have them cancelled. Used the last of my money to get by and had nowhere to go. Got sick by stress and there was no reason given.
