Not coming back
Coming into the hotel to check in, all we saw were cop cars driving around the building multiple times. At time of check in, it was more like we interrupted the guy at the check in desk. Not friendly. Breakfast was blame with no flavor and the machines for juices and hot water/ coffee were out. Not really recommending this location.

The check in was quick & easy. There were no instructions provided about the free WiFi & I had to call twice to be provided the correct information. Requested more towels brought to the room & finally had to go to the front desk to get them myself after 2 1/2 hours. A/C was very noisy. Surrounding neighborhood didn't feel safe.

The room was fine, stay was fine. The included breakfast was not great. Powdered eggs, microwave bacon, juice machine and coffee machine were out of order, bananas were all brown, little tangerines looked bad. I didn't expect a lot, but some effort would have been nice. Hubby enjoyed the waffles, though. Have definitely had better at a Best Western.

inefficient management and bad service.
On Sept 28th, we arrived at hotel about 3:30pm; however, the room not ready until 6:00pm. The manager told us they are short of people to clean rooms. Another 3 groups of family were waiting at the front desk. Besides that, there were not enough towels in bathroom, when I called the front desk, the guy told us to bring the towel to our room, but he never showed up. Overall, inefficient management and bad service.

Dirty furniture in room, dirty pair of socks on the table by pool, one bath towel, none by pool, terrible powdered eggs, no coffee (maker wasn’t working in room and no coffee made or working brewing machine at breakfast, fruit was nearing rotten. It was rather shocking really. Staff is really terrific though. You should provide them with better facility to work in.

Overall had a horrible stay at this location. Was a bit difficult to find and the pictures of the room were very misleading. The toilet broke in my bathroom and it took all day for maintenance to come look at it. I was also only given one towel for the entire time I was there. The couch was filthy. Will not stay here again

I hate it when a hotel says they do breakfast and the have waffles or bread for toast but no butter, their juice machine did not work but they brought in couple jugs of apple juice, decaffinated coffee, the last day they had sugar free syrup only. No Oatmeal, they quickly ran out of eggs and bacon and you had to wait 15 minutes. In the room they have a full size fridge which is nice a dual induction stove top burner and a kitchen sink With a note saying if you want kitchen supplies to request them. When I went to request pots and pans and dishes they gavee a pot that does not work with induction stove top. And said they did not have anything else. The last thing is half the outlets in the room did not work or only one socket out of the two would work. How does that even happen? Just to plug in my computer on the desk I had to use my own extension cord then rerun all their devices to mine cord just for one plug that works cause their bottom socket did not work and they utilized the only socket with cable box, TV and a lamp.
