6/10 Okay
"The room was very nice. Called and asked if it was possible to check in early was told no because the manager likes you to check in at 3. I stated okay. I arrived after 3 pm since i had to go somewhere because i arrived at 1130am. Called next morning just to get 1 hour extended was told no because no housekeeping offered to pay extra. It was still a no. B"
