Arrived after 11pm. Late arrival indicated on reservation. Locked out of access, no one present Dump tucks, flashing police car outside added to the ambiance. Finally someone let me in,& just walked away. No.greeting...just walked away & cintined their convo with a few ppl Loud dumptrucks, dumpsters slamming at 6am. Room I rented was a glorified closet.. It was that tiny.

Staff entered my room twice during my stay with no warning. The first time I was changing so I was extremely startled, so I'm not sure what possessed them to come in my room AGAIN a few minutes later. They incorrectly thought my room should be empty but didn't bother to check, and told me "it doesn't look like I'm leaving any time soon," and proceeded to discuss outside my room for the next 5 minutes. No explanation or apology. I went to reception to double check my reservation and explained what happened - I got a fake apology and no further action.
