Checkin went smoothly w Victoria. I’ve been having upper respiratory issues and asked about using a vaporizer. She was very helpful telling me that that would set off the smoke alarms. I asked about using Vicks Vapo Shower bomb and she said that would work. Well once I stepped into the shower thankfully I looked up and saw mold was over 1/2 the head. By this time all I wanted was a shower and my bed. Luckily I could change the shower head pattern to avoid the areas of mold. I know not a good idea but I did and went immediately to sleep. I did take a photo and showed the front desk staff in the morning so they could have the issues fixed. Otherwise the room was quiet. Bed soft w plenty of soft pillows. The a/c did make “weird” noises during the night and it didn’t seem to get really cold but then all I wanted to do was crash.

Air conditioner was set to heat and on.... it averaged 66 degrees. I was afraid to adjust it. The unit made all kinds of noises. Coffee machine didn't work. Was replaced within minutes. Refrigerator was broken. Didn't report. Hair found between the sheets.

Disliked: Staff & service
It started off good but some of the staff including the day time front desk manager are rude. My room had water pouring from the ceiling in the bathroom from the room above. Literally a waterfall and when I called the front desk the response seemed like this wasn’t the first time it happened in that from their tone of voice. The maintenance guy was nice and got us moved to a different room. We were checking out that day but this was early in the morning and we weren’t even up but heard the downpour. While checking out I asked about what can be done because we had things in the bathroom that got wet. Most hotels would have an incident report filled out so guests can file a claim either through them or a third party. Most insurance claims need documentation but Alex the manager was not understanding that’s what I was asking for. Me and another person was having a conversation about the incident and him and another worker chimed in on the conversation that wasn’t with them. We were sitting down with our luggage talking and they inserted themselves into the conversation. I am a travel agent and I would never recommend this property to clients.

I rather stay home

Didn’t like it the beds where hard , we had a toilet that wobble ever time you seat down on it, and also when you flush it makes this loud screeching sound until it fills back up and need to update there tv to smart tv. I also had to keep going downstairs to get my room key to work it stops working every time I left the room very ignoring

Conveniently located

Staff at desk very pleasant. The hotel was in a nice area that was close to everything downtown. The room was nice but the bathroom was very small. The sink and faucet were poorly designed because when you turned the faucet on the water would shoot out onto the top of the sink. I’m not sure why hotels have started removing fans from the bathroom, but they need to reinstall them. The bathroom turned into a rainforest sauna after the first shower, with damp floors, sink, walls. Pillows and bed were comfortable and the room was clean. Aside from the bathroom the only suggestion I would make would be to add lamps with USB ports.

Little overnight stay

When we checked in the desk person was friendly but didn’t really give any info.. ie. What the pool hours were. That’s one of the main reasons we booked this particular location. Unsure of room service, all of that. Overall it was a nice hotel.
