I’ll check in the refrigerator was not working. We reported it to the front desk who said she was going to have the unit changed out while we were at dinner. It didn’t happen. The TV sets picture is fine, but the TV Guide does not show what is showing on each channel. The toilet paper supply consisted of a half a roll in the entire unit. We are Marriott rewards members for years and these experiences should not have happened. Additionally, this level of hotel should offer a complimentary breakfast.

Front desk girl was awful and very rude. I paid for a room ahead of time and once I got there a couple hours later they said they accidentally overbooked and didn’t have my Room and I had to fight hard for my refund.

We booked with Expedia well before our arrival. Arrived in town around and the hotel called shortly after to say they overbooked and because we were a 3rd party booking, we were cancelled first. Moved us to a hotel in another city! We had no advance notice and were already in town when they cancelled. We will never use or recommend this hotel to anyone. Just horrible business practice and customer service. 3rd party booking customers treated like they do not matter, with no concern for the huge inconvenience.
