While the customer service at this hotel was quite great, we noticed quite a bit of overlooked issues: Our room was not cleaned properly upon arrival and the two days after. After many complaints, we finally received a proper stay over clean on our last day there There are also a number of dangerous, overlooked things in the room such as: 15amp plugs where a 20 should be, electrical issues all over with plugs right next to sinks without GFI, strangely wired lighting and appliances throughout the room, and cracks/loose fixtures. We would not choose to stay there again as with the amount we spent, we unfortunately expected better. The customer service really was great. We did submit this feedback to them directly as well and hope that they take it into consideration when looking at ways to improve their property
