Racist

I didn’t feel welcomed. When I checked in all I was asked was for a deposit then handed my room key whereas the couple who checked in after me received a map along with recs and itinerary. Second I didn’t receive housekeeping during my stay. Although I booked for 2 days I still should have received housekeeping. And lastly the person who was on duty for breakfast for 7/4 followed my daughter and I around the kitchen the entire time we made our plates making us both feel so uncomfortable. Yes I am a woman of color as well as my daughter and to say the least we felt discriminated against. Will not be booking here ever again

Our room was dirty. The main light in one room didn't work so it was dark and hard to see. Our sinks were chunky in the drain holes and and the faucet. Broken glass in the dishwasher. I came with children who can get glasses, etc and toys wasn't safe. The bedding for the hideabed in the couch wasn't in the rooms. I had to call down, get clothes back on and make the bed late at night. Do better. You're a newer hotel and aren't cheap.
