I've been staying here for a while and during the weekdays it was $55 but now I recently came back to find a weekly room and I thought about this play so it's $55 I just do that until I get paid I wanted to do the week after my pay. Well I've been paying different prices 80 the first night and 55 one night and 70 another night. Then 60 dollars I'm running out of money and it's a virus going on so I'm trying to be safe so I called the dude at the desk and asked if I can have a week and how much would it be. The Man told me 250 and one of the client's thats stays here. I wanted to do a so I can just get things taking care of. When to pay the 250 lol the man told me he said 350 now I double ask him and he said yes 250 so I then asked for a microwave because he said he only give back a ways to weekly cups customers he said yes but then I go to pay and I can't get a room because he said 350 that ain't what he said he said 250 now I don't been spending money and money at this hotel this hotel got rats it's not worth 7 in $80 and why would you not give me the room for a week when I was trying to pay for it. That is super wrong especially when the virus is going down we all need to come together man
