Travelled with group
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was okay, but don't count on getting much sleep. After getting in late and going to bed about 1:00 am, the hotel thought it would be a good idea to have the landscaper show up at 6:00 am with the gas leaf blower and spend the next hour waking up every soul within a block. I called the front desk, but they told me they wouldn't do anything about the noise. There was also a diesel work truck right outside our window at 5:30 am. Not the hotels fault, but the owner let run for 35 minutes. I knew I'd be going to a funeral, and then driving all day on very little sleep. It really sucked!

Room felt neglected. Went to front desk asked for maintenance to come fix TV remote. He said 10 min. Didnt show up. Went back down there to front desk said he didnt show up. I had to leave gor a bit but authorized person to come in and fix it. Get back still not fixed. Went again and lady said had to wait for security to get back . He was at other property snd didnt kmow when. She said she couldnt do anything. She said well im being nice and i could get mean. Started to mouth off to me. I get one channel and TV is super load. Dont want to disturb the rooms on each side of me. I would like a full refund . Going to go ask front desk.
