Disliked: Staff & service
This was the worst check in experience I’ve ever had at any hotel. It’s bad enough to leave town in time to check in when you’re told you can to then be told your room isn’t clean yet- but to have the staff say things like “I just got on shift, I don’t know what to tell you” is inexcusable. The lobby looked like a bus station with people laid out on chairs with luggage everywhere. It was like this from 3 to 6 pm, when, despite them telling me they’d call when my room was ready, I stood in another line for 20 minutes to be told it was- 3 hours after official check in time. Our event was at 7 and we had 20 minutes to get our bags in and be ready- I felt really terrible for the many people still in the lobby waiting for rooms. There is absolutely no excuse for a place to be run like this when you know exactly how many rooms there are, how long it takes to clean them, and how much staff that should take. Other staff could have helped- there had to be a better way. This is what I would expect from a $100 room- NOT a $200 room experience. I will never visit this hotel again, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I didn't feel it was in the best area. Our room was near a very loud street that despite having 3 brown noise apps on our phones we could still hear the cars so we weren't able to get much sleep. Thankfully I bought the insurance so we could cancel our room for the net night and move to a much nicer marriott where we could walk to so much. I felt very bad for the two ladies working the front desk. They were so kind and trying so hard, but just couldn't keep up with it all. They are the only reason I'm not giving it one star.

Room looked clean until i opened the kurig and found a used k cup. Yuck. Had to pay to park. Ridiculous to charge patrons. Paid parking was not listed when i booked. The shower was great. Lots of hot water and a nice shower head. I did not use the pool nor room service. I also didn't eat breakfast since it was another additional charge. My biggest issue was the desk clerk continually used the wrong last name. I corrected him twice. He ignored me and continued calling me the wrong name. Made me feel like i didn't matter as a paying guest. I wouldn't recommend staying there. There's crappier places to stay. They get your name right, no pay parking and include a continental breakfast. The name thing dropped from 4 starts to 3.
