Poor hotel

The hotel was under renovations, which was not disclosed when booking. The cost of the room was ridiculous with the condition of the hotel. There was no gathering space, the facilities were dirty, & even the breakfast was expensive. At least comp the breakfast due to the inconvenience of the renovations. None of this would be an issue if we had been made aware of the situation.

The hotel was under construction/renovations, which I was not notified about prior. My room smelt horrible, like it had a previous flood, and hadn’t been used in 6 months. Room was also very outdated. Due to the construction I was not permitted to use the pool. I usually stay at airBnB’s but there was really nothing in the area for one person that had a pool. The reason why I chose the hotel was to use the pool. The hotel staff was nice and provided reimbursement but I would have rather been made aware and stayed at a different hotel.

Booked this hotel specifically because it said they had a shuttle service to PNC. At check in was told they do not have shuttle but gave me the name of a transport company they use and said it would be around $25. Booked with said company and when we got to venue the driver stated it was $25 PER PERSON in cash. Also I was never informed the hotel is under major renovation. Very disappointed

Totally awful experience. I was excited about the pool. It looked great in pictures. Since I was arriving early I called ‘reservations’ as they said I could leave baggage with concierge and use the pool - upon arrival the front desk lady said their pool was closed for the season for renovations. Huge bummer. The whole reason I booked was for the pool. The bar was closed because of renovation. Constant noise and construction inside and outside the building. The sink water is brown. Lights flickered on and off in room. The elevator was shredded to bare bones and was dangerous and a hazard. It was an awful experience from the jump and highly, highly recommended not staying here. Also cesar, the manager on duty was less the helpful or empathetic to the situation.
