The room was great, but good luck getting ahold of anyone at the front desk. The number on their website was never answered. I had to wait for someone to come to the desk to get checked in and there was no one at the desk when I went to check out. Their app for digital checkout wasn’t working.
Our room key didn't work so had to get new keys 3 times. Hallway had a weird smell and had stains on carpet. The door to our room was dirty (inside and out). Elevator inspection that was posted was past due. The check in girl was very nice at least.
Overbooked and reservations canceled without prior notice or a courtesy phone call. The front counter informed me at 9 p.m., after a long day of traveling and work, that my reservation was canceled. After asking a few questions as to why, I learned that supposedly they tried to call me at 11 a.m.- no missed or unknown calls did I receive and they tried running my card on file, which, again, is untrue; my reservation was to pay at the property. I had no suspicious activity or fraud alerts on my account. Last, they said Expedia was informed of the cancellation again; not true another lie. So after a little back and forth I asked how do we make this right and i was told there was nothing they could do. Not sure why; my only idea is that they gave my room away due to being booked from a third party. My situation might be an isolated incident, but at the end of the day, Expedia customer service came to my aid and helped me with new reservations, which I really needed.
Room was clean, staff was very nice & helpful, check in was very easy. We called before booking to ask if there was a pool to give kids something to do… theres a pool but no water in it. Free coffee was good though!
Generally clean and quiet, snack shop downstairs with easy stuff to cook in room. Power went out one afternoon but restored quickly. My bathroom had some plumbing issue but they fixed it quickly.
