We reserved a room with a balcony overlooking the creek. The day of we were told they were under construction and we had a discounted room. The room was right off of the lobby. Tiny and noisy and was eye level to the parking lot. We were disappointed because we don't travel much and I'm sure they had a better room to offer.

There was no good place to walk my dog. They put us in a room down the hall from a very noisy nightclub and partiers slammed doors and talked in the hallway loudly until far in the night. I had requested a room with easy access to outside because of my dog. I didn’t get that at all. I had booked 2 queen beds. I got a king. This is the worst hotel I’ve been to in years. There was nothing positive about the experience. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
