Lacked wash cloths and they had sprayed the most intense cinnamon odor that I had to keep all windows and doors open several hours just to be able to breathe! Atwood staff: Many people are highly allergic to oils, sprays and other chemical odors! Please be cognizant in your choice of “ eco and health friendly” cleaning supplies!! However the room and upkeep excellent and comfortable.

The two clerks were speaking in Spanish to what sounded like gossiping. Hardly acknowledging me walking up. Then they continued their conversation while I’m standing waiting and treated more as an As an inconvenience than a guest,.. It was more than rude it was unprofessional. At that point, I asked them to stop. The female clerk, replied to me that she was training him. There was no part of that conversation that was training. She then began to slam different things around on the countertop, which was followed by a 10 o’clock random call from the front desk asking to verify my name. I’ve never had the hotel front desk call me at 10 o’clock at night. I do believe it was retaliatory.
