They did not have simple towels and face cloths and no housekeeping the whole weekend we were there. No maintenance on sight and our toilet was running loud all weekend due to this. The night staff were really nice but that’s about it. Would not recommend staying here.

Woman working during check in was rude and unhelpful. Made us walk around to the side of the building to get in. Thankfully my dad had already checked into his room so he had a key to get in, otherwise I’m not sure how she expected me to get in the building. Tv did not work. One night, there was not a single hotel worker from 10pm to around 3am and we could not get in touch with anyone, the police had to be called. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had.

Somewhat disappointing.
The first room I stayed in had no water pressure, hardly a trickle. When I complained, they moved me to a better room 2 floors lower. The sofa in my first room had visible stains on it, and there were no tissues in the tissue dispenser. When I asked one of the room attendants for tissues, she said she didn't have any.

Lots of things didn’t work at this hotel. My TV didn’t work. The treadmill in the fitness center didn’t work. The key stopped working for my hotel room and then again for the fitness center. Also there wasn’t a lot of attention to detail. My room was not done up the first two nights. I had no hangers. No towels in the gym. No cups at the water cooler.

Rude front desk-day shift Nov14th
The front desk attendant could have not been more rude, disrespectful and dismissive. I came before Checkin time at 3pm. When I asked if there was a room to check in I received almost a hysterical answer that the room is. It ready and to come back at checkin time. I said ok, not a problem and either asked if I may drop off my luggage with the front desk. Again a very rude response that they are not doing that. He also told me to move my car from the parking spot since I’m not staying in the hotel yet. I did not have time to rebook but I should have done it. Terrible person who should not be employed to work with customers.

THE GOOD: The room was clean—unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of my stay. THE BAD: The elevator and entire fourth floor reeked of cigarette smoke so heavily that it made me wonder if the hotel still has smoking rooms. The shower grout looked overdue for replacement, and several outlets were loose, popping out from the walls. THE UGLY: Due to construction, there were road closures blocking access to the hotel at night, and I wasn't notified of this in advance. After circling the area for an hour searching for an entrance, I eventually had to drive over curbs and a yard in the back of the hotel just to access the parking lot. This was not the arrival experience I’d hoped for. Adding to the frustration, when I brought these concerns to the staff, they were sarcastic and unhelpful, refusing to provide a manager’s contact information. Overall: While I appreciated the clean room, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and general condition of the property made for a disappointing experience.
