The room was out dated. There was a bad smell in the hallway towards our room. Two of the treadmills did not work. The pool was closed for whatever reason. The room was not worth the price we paid for.

A noisy NIGHT

I was on the 1st floor and between 7:00pm and 10:00pm There were children running and laughing and banging on my door and running away and yelling for their mom. I called the front desk and they said they would talk to them by 10PM it was still going on. I opened my door and told the mother who was coming down the hallway walking toward her children that this needs to stop- I have to work in the morning. She just pushed her kids into their room 2 doors down and they kept yelling etc. I had to call the front desk again and told them if this continued I'd have to be moved. It FINALLY stopped !!! by 10.30PM !!!!

Do not stay here if you need internet service.

Upon arrival we saw a sign noting they were doing construction. Not sure if this affected the air conditioning but the hallways were very hot. The Ac in the room was cool thank goodness. When we got to the room we could not connect to the internet. When I alerted the front desk they said I would have to call ATT for assistance. What?! I called and after sitting on hold for a bit and then being asked all kinds of questions about IP addresses and such I needed the call and headed to the front desk. The woman there informed me that the internet had not been working properly for WEEKS! I suggested that they alert people about this when they check in as internet is sometimes necessary. I explained that I had work to do and the woman was very dismissive and co descending acting as if she didn’t believe that I really had to work. I ended up having to pack up and leave the next day to find a hotel with internet. It was very much a terrible start to my weekend away.

We stayed at this hotel because it was close to Merriweather Post Pavilion. It was an easy drive to get there. The hotel is going through a renovation but you would not know aside from some boxes in the lobby. The hotel was understaffed at the front desk and with housekeeping so rooms were not ready 30 minutes after check in time. The woman at the front desk was very apologetic and asked everyone to be patient. I requested to change from what I reserved to what they had available and they were very accommodating. The hotel was clean and very quiet.

I appreciated Beverly’s top notch, well poised, knowledgeable, kind, and professional customer service! The only issue there was is the phone in the room had no dial tone! I had my 76 year old mom there who has health issues. At any point that I needed to call for service, I was unable to. I had questions, I had to take the elevator down to ask, I needed towels because the room was only prepped with ONE bath towel, had to go down to ask for towels. It was truly and excruciating pain the ass that part. If it wasn’t for sweet Beverly, I would have pitched a fit!

I definitely won’t be back. My stay was ruined.

We were unable to get to sleep until late because of people making noise in the hallway. Then we were awoken at 5am by a couple next door who was arguing and slamming doors at 5 am. Then 3 hrs later we heard a different couple HAVING SEX LOUDLY. I want a refund but I have no idea how to file for one.
