1. THE SHOWERS IN THIS HOTEL REGURGITATED SEWER WATER WHILE WE SHOWERED. 2. THE TOILET WOULD NOT FLUSH AND WE WERE FORCED TO URINATE ON TOP OF UNFLUSHED URINE. 3. UPON ASKING FOR THE MANAGERS PHONE NUMBER I WAS LIED TO AND GIVEN THE FRONT DESK NUMBER. 4. I WAS FOLLOWED AROUND THE HOTEL BY A STRANGE MALE ASSOCIATE AS I LOADED MY THINGS TO DEPART EARLY! 5. I WAS MOCKED AND INSULTED AS I LOADED MY CAR. 6. MARRIOT CLAIMS EXPEDIA IS TO HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A REFUND. EXPEDIA BLAMES ALOFT. THE HOTEL MANAGER REFUSED TO REFUND ANYTHING. 7. WE PAID OVER $1000, DIDN'T GET TO STAY OUR WHOLE STAY, AND WERE OFFERED "POINTS" AS A FIX. 8. MY CHILD PAID FOR THIS HOTEL ROOM OUT OF HER OWN MONEY SHE MADE AT WORK. SHE SPENT $1000 TO SHOWER IN FECES WATER. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT. 9. THIS HOTEL ALSO SERVES FOOD WHILE REGURGITATING SEWER WATER INTO THEIR SHOWERS.

Horrible Worst Experience Ever At A Hotel

First, my reservation was messed up. That had to be fixed. Then, they were full with families on baseball teams. They’re kids were playing bball outside my window all day/ night. My room is first floor and 5 feet away from these 15-20 kids and 10-20 parents. My cat was freaking out. Balls hitting my window. Kids looking into my window more than once. Then a ball hit my car in the parking lot by my room. Pics shown of location of room and area. And to top it off when I went to get ice at 2:30am the door closed and somehow latched the safety latch with no one inside. Impossible, right!??? No! It happened. That took 2 hours. And now I am checking out. So NO! NOT HAPPY AND NOT OKAY PAYING a few hundred A NIGHT!!!!!!!

We liked the hotel, it has a very unique style to it. The staff was friendly and room was very clean. The things we didn’t like: No microwave and there wasn’t a lot of privacy when stepping out of the shower.

Newer hotel, no instruction on operating TV remote, if staying more than one night we didn’t have room service for clean towels and or bed linens. We had to ask specifically for towels and wash cloths more coffee cups and coffee.
