This property is a complete disaster—avoid it at all costs. It’s under major renovation, yet they’re still renting out a small, outdated portion. They should shut it down until it's finished. Construction makes it loud and filthy. The units are old, with rock-hard beds and stained bedding. Security gates don’t lock. The pool, hot tub, and clubhouse are all out of service—so there are zero amenities. Yet, they shamelessly charge a "resort fee." The staff is incompetent and unethical. I extended my stay for a few hours due to an afternoon flight after a sleepless night. While I was out, staff entered my room without reason, rifled through my belongings, and stole a brand-new $40 shirt. When I confronted them, they dismissed me as if I were imagining things. They're thieves preying on guests. To make it worse, their front desk is unreachable—they just let the phone ring. As I checked out, I saw them ignoring calls with no regard for guests. Other issues? No hangers, no bathmat, a broken toilet that doesn't flush, and damaged furniture. This place is a joke.

This property was a complete joke. Stay away at all costs. They are in the middle of a full rehab of the property and only a small portion is available. They should just shut it down until they are completed. It's loud and dirty because of the construction. The available units are very outdated with exceptionally uncomfortable beds and stained bedding. Security gates don't lock. The pool, hot tub, and club house are all out of commission, meaning absolutely no amenities. Yet they have the audacity to charge a 'resort fee'. The staff is incompetent and unethical. I extended a 'night' even though I had an afternoon flight as I needed a few more hours of sleep after an early morning meeting following a very poor night sleep, as I couldn't check in anywhere else. After I extended and before I had returned from my meeting, the staff had entered my room for no justifiable reason, completely rummaged through my stuff and stole a nice, new, $40 shirt of mine. When I brought it up they completely dismissed it and acted like I was delusional. The reality is they are thieves taking advantage of their customers. Oh, and threw all of this I couldn't reach anyone at the hotel's reception desk as they simply don't answer their phone; as I checked out I witnessed them just letting the phone ring incessantly with no care to provide service to their guests. Other things to note, they don't provide basic things like hangers & bathmat, the toilet wouldn't flush, the furniture was broken.

This hotel is uninhabitable. Half of it's closed for construction, and they are renting out the other half, which is falling apart, full of insects, old, dirty, smelly, the beds have two worn-out pillows, the towels are stained and full of small hair, old, and look overused, the refrigerator and microwave look like they haven't been maintained for years, the TV is also too old and has no working channels. In fact, everything in the room is disgusting and uncomfortable. It's incredible that they offer service in a place like this, at any price it's expensive.

Horrible experience

Toilet bowl was not working, I went to the front desk. They had no one to come out to fix the toilet bowl issue. I asked for a bucket to be able to flush the toilet. A while later The smoke alarm kept beeping. They had no maintenance person available. They had no other room to put us in.

I booked a one night stay February 14-15 and around 4 in the morning I couldn’t get into my room because the key card wasn’t working and no staff was there to reset it I was up for almost an hour not being able to get into room and ended having to stay at the friends so the hotel was a waste. There should be someone there 24 hours, hotel was a waste.

Absolutely horrible. I also tired to get a refund to go stay somewhere else because our hotel room was disgustingly dirty. There were no sheets or blankets on the bed. The staff behind the counter said I would have to contact the manager the next day to file a complaint.

Disgusting hotel

That was the most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. The air conditioner was so loud. I had to turn it off then the toilet wouldn’t flush. I was told that there would be water, tea or coffee and the staff when I asked said no. The staff were absolutely well. They ignored you so it was horrible. I don’t recommend them at all. I think Hotels.com needs to look into this mess

guy at the front was nice enough, but everything else was terrible. toilet didn’t flush— had to fill up an old subway cup from the sink multiple times just to get enough water to get it to go down once. my curtains were nailed to the wall for some reason so i couldn’t open them to see outside or let any light in. worst of all, my airpods went missing from my room! i got ready in the bathroom, tossed them on the charger by the bed before leaving for the day. got back around 8 hours later, airpods gone but charger still there. asked about it at front desk and they claimed they had no idea. sure.
