Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

unfriendly staff outdated room
The staff at check-in seemed unfriendly. Upon arrival, I was informed that I could not keep the same room. I had to check out at 10:00 am and check back in at 3:00 pm the next day.. This felt quite inconvenient. The rooms also felt outdated.
