Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
IWe checked in at 9:30 pm on Tuesday the 7th at night with 2 teenagers. There was no one at the front desk we had to wait a while and restaurant was closed at 9 pm. After checking in we ordered door dash and the girls went to the pool /hot tub area for about 45 mins maybe, when we got back there was men's T shirt and socks in our room someone had enter our room without our permission and the predator did something bad that I cannot mention in this review. I called the front desk and they came up and remove the T shirt and socks and told me there would be no charge for tonight and that they were sorry, however upon checking out I was charged for the night full amount and I argue with the young girl but said she there was nothing they could do to help me, because her manager was not in this morning. I have filed a complaint with Travelocity as well. very upset I predator was in our room and no one cares. We demand a refund immediately.
