This property was okay. Slightly not cared for, meaning, fridge not plugged in and when plugged in, made horrible noises. No knobs on dresser which is an easy fix and laminate on dresser coming off. Soap empty. No elevator.

It’s dirty the shower wall is broken and they just put putty on it we walked in and there was a man that pulled in stumbling around and drunk out of his mind. We paid for 2 queen beds and we got beds barely bigger than a twin size bed. Only half of the TV remote works the coffee maker is filthy. Everything is just gross

There was a mouse in the room. Enough said

The hotel is marked up tremendously due to the summer tour season. So I was already paying way more for way less. Then I informed the staff that there was a mouse in my room and they never followed up or ever returned contact with me about anything related to addressing the mouse or any level of compensation.

At check in the lady was just doing her job. Nothing more. Not really friendly or welcoming. The room itself was pretty nice. Recently redone. The hall though had a really bad odor. The jets in the hot tub didn’t work. The pool was ok until they drained it during our stay with no notice or explanation. There were a couple missing windows which anyone could just come into the building through.

Upon entering rm was hit by earthly smell (mold) air conditioning increased mold smell. Couldn't breath, equipment didn't work, no lights or H2O, and towel rack above toilet ready to fall on you while you use toilet. Toilet was only thing working & it was filthy....Worst, & most unhealthy place I was forced to stay. When you check in at 9 at night you have no choice ugh... Asthma attacks, blankets visablely stained. I took pictures of fixtures hanging from walls, dried urine all over...... Yes worst
It's visibly not level. Thatsb beacause it's hanging out of wall
Where towel rack should be connected
TV duck taped to keep it up
A stain one or two of MANY

Recommend for Worst Case Scenario

The the amount this place cost, it was absolutely disgusting to know what I paid for what we got. Check in was slow. The room key didnt work, so they moved us to a different room. Walked in the room, the light switch didnt work. Sat on the bed and i was squeaky metal. When pulled back the covers, there were hairs and crumbs. The bathroom had a nice shower, however took almost 5 minutes for warm enough water to shower to start running. Towels were less than pleasant, but it was something than nothing. For $60/night, I'd expect things like this, but for $285/night, it was pretty bad.
