Disliked: Amenities

At a time when all fees are supposed to listed in charges, I walked in and was pre-charged $20/day for a facility not available for walking in from anything convenient. There is no airport, bus station, or railway for walkers. Everyone has to park on the property from their cars, it is not close to anything. No one asked if I needed parking and assumed, correctly, that I drove there and told me a parking charge would be done for my stay on the credit card I had to present. No one can or would walk to this hotel. It is a way to bill additionally for something that should have been either pre-billed or free according to new fee guidelines! The charge was a total surprise and I wouldn't have stayed there had I known about parking charges. The FTC needs to hear about this. Ed Kosnoski

Room smelled like dog piss!

The room smelled like dog piss! I complained, but they didn’t try to make the room smell better. They were all booked up and couldn’t move me, but said they would talk to the manager and see if they could do something for me. That never happened.

Housekeeping forgot to replenish Keurig coffee pods, as well as the disposable cups. I had to text front desk early in the morning as I needed to have a cup of coffee before leaving for the day.Front desk said, "a team member will be there shortly." After waiting for 30 mins, no one delivered the disposable cups, nor the coffee pods.I texted front desk again, they said, "sorry for the confusion. That housekeeping is not there yet. Will be in later"

Good for a night or 2

We stayed for 2 nights. Check in was a breeze, the woman at the front desk was very nice. Room was overall clean and comfortable. The only things we noticed were the washcloths were very thin and stained and there didn’t appear to be any ventilation in the bathroom. The entire bathroom would steam up making everything in it very wet, the inside of the door was dripping. We propped the door open during the first night and the steam set off the smoke detector. The shower also gets really hot so you barely need to turn the knob. One last thing, if you are a cold sleeper, bring extra clothes because you are directly hit by the A/C unit up on the wall (which we loved).
