I was racially profiled , parking was horrible, crowded , small room even king size bed. Was not a good 4 star hotel could be a luxury 3star if best. Cars took long to get . My wife and I found a lipgloss that wasn’t hers on my keys when valet brought my rolls Royce around. Just not a good spot for us. Spots on walls. Literally stayed for an hour and a half after check in and left and didn’t go back into the room Asked for a refund and they denied refund , so yeah just horrible experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I made a reservation through Expedia to this hotel however, I must report that this hotel requires significant renovations. The breakfast options were limited to a banana and oatmeal, and the restaurant/bar offered a very restricted selection of beverages. The rooms were exceedingly small, and upon arrival, I found the towels to be stained with blood, necessitating a request for new ones. The check-out time was unusually early at 11pm, whereas standard check-out times are typically at noon. The check-in time was at 4am, whereas most hotels permit check-in at 3pm The gym was not accessible 24/7 as advertised, and the heated pool that was supposedly available was not open at all. Additionally, the lighting was insufficient, the electrical outlets were non-functional, and the Wi-Fi connection was entirely unavailable and gave me error messages I am also not sure why they inform you that the deposit is refunded upon check out but hasn't been issued to my bank account it's been a week I also would like to know why the hotel doesn't have a direct line and reservations has to try to get answers they gave me so many issues I don't know if I would come back unless improvements are made
