Horrible hotel

When we arrrived for check in with our family, there was only 2 staff members and there was a huge line. Multiple people were coming back to the front because something was wrong (card wasn’t working, something broken etc) We were travelling with our 6 and 4 year old. They gave us a key and when we went all the way up to our room there was a ladder, drill, and maintenance tools. So we went back and it took them 30 min to get us another room at 930 at night. Rooms were not clean. Carpet was wet. Horrible stay

Given an occupied room and walked into a family sleeping around 1am in the morning. Alot of confusion by both parties and could have led to a dangerous situation with a family sleeping having people walk in on them. Not offered anything or compensated for this concerning/dangerous situation. Only an apology for the mizlx up after walking fully into a room in the middle of night with a family sleeping that nearly led to a hostile situation by the father in there and understandbly so with unknown people walking into your room.
