High school/college age kids having a party next door and very loud in hallway, fire alarm going off, called front desk and comment was “it should be going off soon”, could smell burning plastic, fire and police came and broke down the door the kids were in (they ran down the steps), firemen inspected our room, left and we didn’t hear a thing from anyone. Smelled burnt plastic all night which irritated our nose and throat, not a single call or check in from staff. Broken door pieces remained in the hall when we checked out. Water cooler empty, not paying $4 for a bottle of water. Had to ask for towels on two occasions. Shouldn’t have to ASK for housekeeping. Everyone was on their phones constantly.

Water pressure was terrible, water temp wasn’t nearly hot enough. When we arrived the team member on the desk seemed very unhappy to be dealing with the public and as if she didn’t like her job. I asked for local restaurant recommendations and she couldn’t provide a single one. The next day she seemed to be in a better mood

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall it was an okay experience. The room was fairly clean and the location is decent close enough to everything we needed, which made getting around convenient. However, there were a couple of issues that really impacted our stay. The biggest problem was the shower the water would turn cold, which made it pretty uncomfortable. After a long day, you expect a hot shower, so that was definitely disappointing. Our main reason for booking this hotel was the pool, and unfortunately that was the biggest letdown. The pool was way over-chlorinated. I’m not someone who usually complains about chlorine levels I understand pools need it but this was on another level. The smell was extremely strong, it burned our eyes, and it was actually affecting my breathing. It completely ruined our pool experience, which was the highlight we were looking forward to. With some adjustments to the water temperature and better pool maintenance, this place could be much better. Right now, though, those issues made the stay less enjoyable than it should have been.

The room was orderly and seemed fairly comfortable. However, upon entry of the room there was a very heavy smell that I can only describe as a fried fish smell. Not strong but as if it was cooked and still lingering. Also, the manual bolt lock on the door was faulty. They have a secondary stopper that you can flip open only from the inside and it prevents the door from just opening after the key card is scanned. The plus is definitely the layout and the design of the room. It had a nice view that can be appreciated even if it’s only a few smaller buildings out to see. We were in room 505

The bathtub was dirty and the molding in the bathroom was severly water damaged from what appeared to be standing water that had leached up the molding. The carpet in the "dining area" had some red spots that appeared to be food. The wall between the refrigirator and cabinets has lots of dirty build up that would be easy to clean. Air ventilation in sleeping area has musty smell, definately needs to be cleaned behind the grate which is probably a maintenance chore. Bed mattress does not have a mattress cover on it which is just gross. When I made the reservation I was not made aware there would be a charge for parking, and there was ONLY valet parking ($45.00 a night) available. When I checked in I was informed there would be a $250.00 hold on my credit card for 5 - 7 days for incidentals. Everything said, this was a Poor stay and do NOT recommend. Valet Parking service was polite, prompt, and cutious but unexpected and expensive.
