Never going back

The main problem with this property was cleanliness. The floors in the elevators and hallways were sticky and in need of mopping. One of the elevators was out of order. The hallways needed to be vacuumed. The trash cans on my floor were full. The top was stopped up and wouldn’t drain properly. The sink and toilet were not clean. The toilet had hair and dirt on the base and the frame around the mirror had surface dirt along with the tub. I will not book at this hotel again.

The side door had an issue and did not close behind. There was a dog in the hallway roaming. The restroom in my room had a few strains of hair in it and 3 rings in the tub. The TV did not have VH1. I would come back, but I called to find out why there was an additional $74.07 hold on my card along with the $50 incidental fee. I was unaware of the $73 fee. The rep was impatient and rushing me off the line, then told me that I wasn't her daddy. All I was saying is aren't you at work and supposed to address the clients concerns or at least pretend you are listening???
