The room itself was fine. The problem was how difficult it was to get a hold of the front desk. I made a request to specifically put my ice packs in their freezer. When my husband picked it up from the staff, not only was it not frozen it was barely cold. We needed it to keep my breast milk cold for our drive home. It's disappointing that I couldn't even file a complaint as the front desk was gone for a long period of time. It's also frustrating how the staff did not abide to the request as now my breastmilk had to go waste as it's food for my baby.

Didn’t get the room we reserved. Was told they were too full so instead of receiving another suite, we were placed in a standard room with none of the amenities we paid for. We were given the number to the general manager for help and of course it never connected with the manager.

Nice at the front desk good personality. Got to my room and all I smelled was cigarettes from the last guest. In 408, moved me to room 309 once off the Elevator the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Well never go back as I’m a none smoker. When I woke the morning to leave they had sprayed the hotel hallway to cover the smell of the cigarette smell.

Misty

Upon arrival we had noticed there was hair in the bathtub, & later that evening after we had gotten back from having dinner there was a guy that wouldn’t stop knocking on our door, shirt off, clearly intoxicated, requesting to look in our room for something he had left behind. After the third time at 10pm at night we had contacted the front desk, was put on hold for over 5 mins, so I had just decided to go to the front desk. They offered to only contact security, not a change of room or anything.

I thought the property was really nice giving that it’s on S. Tacoma Way smh known area for prostitution and drugsI got three different rooms. The two out of the three rooms were pretty good. The one with the Jacuzzi in it was horrible. There were still hair and stuff in the jets. It was infested with ants and the caulking around the tub was just horrible Room 239 beware hopefully they’ll get it fixed but I say throw the whole Jacuzzi tub away and I think you guys should invest in trying to get somebody professional to clean those jets of y’all‘s Jacuzzi tips. Also, the Jacuzzi area needs better lighting. It’s pretty dark in that corner overall, I was very disappointed with my room.
