The hotel overbooked rooms for Memorial Day weekend so when my friends and I got there the 2 queens we had booked became one bed and a sofa bed. They asked if that was fine but due to the holiday and multiple events happening in town over the weekend everything was booked so I didn’t really have much of a choice. Once in the room we found they didn’t leave sheets blankets or pillows for the sofa bed and when I went to call the phone didn’t work so I had to walk down to ask for them. Once I complained about this they offered to send someone up with linen and asked if I’d like to have someone sent to look at the phone. For my trouble I was offered a free coffee voucher which felt like a slap in the face considering. I was finally offered the $40 resort fee back which I’ll hold my breathe on getting. After going out and eating dinner we came back to the hotel room for the night. When I went into the bathroom to shower and roll out the bath mat I found pubic hair not only on that but in the shower as well. I get sometimes you may miss a hair when cleaning in the shower but to also find it on the “clean” towel/bath mat then made me question everything else. At this point I’ve been told I’ll be refunded half of what I paid for the room they gave away but I’m so disappointed. I’ve stayed here before last fall and it was lovely. But now I’m just grossed out and worried they’d overbook and give my room away again.

Hotel was lovely, rooms clean and nice. Love the free snacks and water! I would recommend not staying on the street side if you can. It can be a bit noisy when the bars let out. Perfect location to walk to all the tourist stops. Coffee shop attached to hotel was great, although a bit pricey. Love the drink tickets when you check in!
