Bad experience
When asked by an automated text, how was my room? I responded that the shower was missing soap in the dispenser, ac was not cooling and was too loud for sleeping or resting. the management was apparently annoyed because She, Carol, responded in all caps back to me. By the way, Carol, that is considered shouting and poor manners, disrespectful and discourteous while texting annyone especially a paying customer. That evening found live roaches crawling in the bathroom. Not a good example for the Bestwestern chain.

Please return resort fees
We had to change rooms due to the staff putting loud kids from a school on our floor who kept yelling and screaming. I couldn’t sleep. I requested no housekeeping and the house keeping was caught coming out of my room 405 on two different nights. We were moved to 728 due to issues. My daughter was bitten by bedbugs and the staff did nothing about. Call the customer service line still nothing and the hotel has yet to return resorts fees they promised at check out. Checked out a day early. Stay away from this horrible place and rip off. Never go there again and the staff needs hospitality class they are the worst on earth.
