Had to move the trip up one day and this room was not availability. A different room downstairs which was open and to no avail. Never stepped foot in the place however did have the honor or paying for cleaning. Impartial on all reviews as neutral however we did drive by and the location was good. When I asked to have the cleaning fee refunded since the door was never opened, no response. Stayed in Sapphire . Great spot
