Poor Service, wasn’t impressed

The hotel looks great from the outside but all the problems started as soon as we walked in. We walked into our room and it was dirty with no sheets on the beds all piled in a corner. Our next room had brown/yellow stains in the bathroom with black marks everywhere. The beds were super short and anyone over 5’9 will not be comfortable. The parking garage was filthy littered with trash and strange handprints on the walls. The front desk had no customer service and was unapologetic even after learning about all the issues we ran into and for waking us up at 8am about an issue non related to our room. Would never stay here again or recommend it to others.

Really great customer service. Met our few requests, Ike a fluffy pillow, quickly and with no fuss. The main lobby area is warm and very pretty. All the staff were very kind and attentive. Will definitely be staying here again

Disappointing for price

The hotel seemed nice at check in, but our room wasn’t as clean as I would expect for the price. There was hair on the counter, floor, and in the shower left from previous guests. We usually stay at slightly cheaper hotels so I had high expectations at this price point. I also was charged an additional $26 charge without warning or explanation so watch out for that. My receipt from Hotels.com says pay $10.07 at resort but my charge is for $36.07 and I can’t find an answer as to why. Also, if you have a lifted truck you won’t fit in the parking garage. We barely cleared the 6’4” entry sign in a standard full size pickup.

Very nice area, the lobby is gorgeous, they have a self checkout for the convenient area, didn’t get a chance to try the coffee pastry area but was excited about that. However for how much we paid for a one night stay there was a stain on the carpet (wasn’t sure what it was) and the bathroom door knob seemed to be broken. Other then that everything seemed nice.

Missing the mark.

The staff was great when checking in . My issue is with the conditions of the room when compared to the price . Almost 400$ and the carpet was stained..the toilet was slanted back like it was falling backwards and the wallpaper was stained by the toilet..the caulking behind the toilet...just the over all condition of the area was totally off. There was a long black hair on the tub ..rose petals from the guest before on the floor , it obviously wasn't vacuumed..we had 3 large pillows 1 small on the bed ..it looked disheveled as soon as we entered the room..the bed was hard as a rock! The hall ways needed vacuuming throughoutthe property..the entry way tile needed mopping . We passed 2 housemen..and a lead cleaner in the hallways in the morning didnt even get eye contact let alone a hello or good morning . . When eating breakfast 1 older lady was doing everything while 1 other person just stood there with 4 dirty tables we had to sit basically on top of the couple eating beside us ..it was the only thing clean. We asked for chocolate milk....never got it.. we had to settle for hot chocolates becuase it was made wrong . The wall was dirty from food by our table. And no food was labeled in the breakfast area..was it grits or oatmeal? Is that turkey sausage or pork? I am a cleaning company owner and my expertise is on hotels.. for the price.. for the area.. your definitely missing the mark . It wont let me add pictures or i would .
