I called two weeks before our trip to request early check in which they said they could not guarantee so I said I would call the day of and ask if it was possible. They said they could not guarantee it AGAIN but I was still charged for it. We ended up getting there around 3 (check in was at 4 pm) since they said they couldn’t guarantee early check and had to wait in the lobby for an hour. Our AC was also broken and someone came to check and said “no it’s working” but it most definitely wasn’t. We and our two dogs were so warm but we couldn’t leave our sliding door open because we were on the first floor and that’s unsafe. We asked to change rooms but they said they were fully booked for Memorial Day weekend.

Unexpectedly poor condition

The bathroom and shower were in bad shape. There was a hole in the shower ceiling with a pipe hanging out, and a hole in the tile floor. The wall had some damage as well. Not sure why we were given this room for two nights but I will not be staying there again if all of the rooms are in the same neglect.
