Run Down

This hotel was in various states of disrepair. Many places like the elevator had several buttons that didn't work, and the solution was just a printed off sign saying, "press the up button to go down." The toilet in our room was filthy and also ran nonstop during our entire stay. The room had a strange smell, as well as was very dark and tight. The hallway and elevator smelled like someone was smoking Marijuana.

This property was not what was expected. There are a number of items concerning the room. We did not address them with the staff due to how poorly we found things that didn't have a reasonable fix. The bed in room 187 needs to be thrown away. When you lay on either side you roll to the center. It is broken down. This was a major issue for us. The shower curtain was barely hanging on with torn material between the plastic holder circles. Not so much of an issue but the toilet paper holder was a joke and poorly placed. We came in with a cart that was available to only find out that we couldn't get near our room with it. I would not recommend this run down property that doesn't invest back into it. Just look at the lights that are supposed to shine on the front wall when you go in. One has been duct taped together and still it lays on the ground. A bloody head laying in the bowl at the front desk lounge is disgusting. Was very disappointed with this stay!

This was the oddest experience I’ve ever had in a hotel. First time in 50 years that I’ve had to ask for a new room due to extremely noisy neighbors and people smoking weed outside the patio door. Was moved to another room (at midnight) where I had a toilet full of hot steaming water. Really. So hot that there was condensation dripping off of the toilet lid. Also, the toilet ran all night. In the morning, the toilet was normal temperature, but when I tried to take a shower, the only temperature coming through the pipes was scalding!!! So hot that I couldn’t even put a toe in the shower when on full ‘cold’. I was so desperate to clean up after my overseas flight that I decided to wash my hair in the sink, only to discover that it was clogged. At this point, it was comical. I packed my bags, visited the front desk and asked to check out early and get a refund for the nights that I would not be spending at the hotel. When the receptionist (who was lovely, as was ALL the staff!!!) asked why I was checking out early, I explained what had happened. Her response was was to cringe and said “that happens sometimes in the tower rooms”. THEY KNOW THIS HAPPENS AND THEY STILL PUT CUSTOMERS IN THESE ROOMS?!?!?!?!?? Insanity. The receptionist working in the front desk couldn’t process my refund for the nights not spent, but said she would let a manager know. I did receive a refund two days later.

We did not participate in the free breakfast..we ate at Shogun's the food was very good. We also ate at Crescsendo, the menu online had way more options than we found in the resturant and the young lady who waited on us was very kind. Our pizza was a bit soggy but edible.. Think the outside could use some updating for the seating area..

The hotel served the purpose of providing a place to rest and sleep. The menu for the restaurant didn’t match what was on the website. It said they provided room service, but they did not. The ice machine was broken and we were not provided K-cups for the Keurig in our room. Finally there was a power strip in the room and all the appliances, lamps, etc on one side of the room were plugged into it.
