Got locked out and slept outside. No way to reach anyone. When I finally got in the next morning I was told there is a number on the front door, in teeny writing there is a printed emergency number, no other way to reach anyone, not via email or phone. No apology, no kindness for my $300 homeless experience. I will never stay there again.
