Frustrating stay July 2025

Check-in staff charged us for new reservation because a train delay resulted in us missing our first night. It wasn't until I reached manager on weekday that they would refund what was essentially a double charge. Would have been really nice to have management on site to avoid conversations with front desk staff that increased my frustration level. Also, the plumbing/drainage from our room wasn't functional. You couldn't take shower without taking bath and we had to pause between family members because the bathtub would have flooded. Same with sink just when brushing teeth.

Not first class !

I sent a message asking for an early check-in because we had an early dinner reservation. No response. So I called and they told me it would be a $25 charge. I told them no thanks. The room was find but the toilet was dirty. The women’s locker room had 2 full homers with dirty towels over flowing 2 days in a row. Used towels in the corner in sauna. The pool area was nice but all the chairs were taken by 11 am and there clearly were not enough for all the guests. I’m not sure but heard they let outsiders pay a fee to buy a one day pass which takes away from the guests staying at the hotel. Bad idea and not fair to guests who booked hotel because of pool. Other than that it was nice.

Do not disclose at time of booking that they not only charge you $30/night to park in their ramp (there is no other parking option in under a mile). Also they charge $25+ in “visitation fee” that apparently isn’t covered in the $300 a night hotel fee. Phone did not work and mini fridge was broken on arrival. Went down to front desk and waited over an hour for a technician.

i reserved a room with 2 beds, i check in and they didnt even tell me my room wasnt available, they just gave me a key and sent me up to a room with 1 bed. i went back down and they told me my room had been taken and there was nothing they could do. after about 10 min they finally gave me the room i reserved. Staff was rude and kept telling me there was nothing they could do. however they finally did it after about 20 min of me saying i get my room or i want my money back. they then continued to blame expedia for how they work as a third party. either way hotel was dirty. i will not be back to this location ever. i paid 300$ for a 1 night stay and had to fight to get what i paid for. then after all of that they charged me 100 dollar incidental. i left room clean, all they had to do was make the beds. i most likely wont use expedia again assuming their communication with the hotel was not on point and allowing the hotel to double book a room. I would like at least my 100$ charge back but i am very dissatisfied and would like a bigger refund. the hotel was pretty empty and they kept making it sound like every room they had was full
