I did a late reservation and therefore a late check-in. The front desk lady denied my entry. She said she marked me as a no show and told me there where no more rooms available.

The room felt neglected in many ways. There were not enough towels for the guests staying. The phone in the room was not working. Due to that issue, had to physically go to front desk and ask for more towels. When replacing towels, they were thrown on the bathroom sink; not folded just stacked. The garbage was not removed daily. On the last night, there was no body wash. It was not refilled as part of the morning routine.

Check in was very easy and the young gentleman was a very nice, I checked in right before 11 PM. Newly renovated rooms were clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was good and they had real bacon :-). It did sound like something was running in the unit above me a lot of the time. The safe lock was not working. I like the Christmas decorations.

We booked a suite with a sofa bed and 2 queen beds. We got a room with a cot and 2 double beds. When we raised the issue with the hotel we got attitude. We are not getting what we paid for. Also the cot was breaking and we couldn’t use it. When asked for replacements, we were told that it would be impossible However a replacement was found but no sheeting and the mattress was stained. This is the first time I have used Expedia and what I got from you guys suck. I want my money refunded.
The room we booked was to come with a sofa bed. This is what we were given and a broken cot to boot.

Hotel was under renovation. Room was clean with new carpet. Room safe did not work because it needed batteries. There was a small temporary TV in the room that had not been mounted on the wall yet. Elevator was out of order and I had to carry a large suitcase down the stairs for three floors. Front desk staff was great.

I carpets were super dirty. The bathroom look like it was surfaced cleaned. You couldn’t use the stairwell which was an emergency concern. There was one elevator that was very slow and made us a nervous wreck due to the jumping.

I had my room changed. The first room I was in had no hot water in the shower and there was mold in the shower and on the ceiling. This hotel needs to be updated a bit. The only plus was the woman working breakfast time, she was super friendly.
