I booked this hotel through expedia. When we arrived on 2/17 and checked in we were told we had to pay full price plus a hold although we originally paid a deposit. We arrived in our room where there were no wash clothes. The first night I woke up to mysterious bites on me. We chalked it up to being a spider. As the days went on more bites appeared. Finally on 2/20 after falling asleep my husband woke up to welts on him. When he flashed his light he found BEDBUGS. We reported it to the front desk and although they gave us a new room without issue we left due to them being at the hotel. We had to check our clothes for BEDBUGS and everything we came with and threw half our items away. The hotel did allow us to check out early and canceled the last day however as of now we are out of the rest of our money because they have to open an investigation. We showed them photos of the bugs and our bites as well. We then had to spend an additional $300 on one night at another hotel.

If I could give a zero, I would. There were non smoking signs all over the property including as you exit the elevators on the floor we were on but....the whole place smelled like Marijuana. Not only did we smell it but the unknown couple on the elevator said the same thing. As we approached to entrance to the hotel there were people smoking Marijuana out by the front doors. The management did NOTHING!!! When we complained of it smelling on our non-smoking floor they went up there and said they smelt nothing! It was probably them smoking it! We will never return!

Room was in good condition but some staff were not courteous. This hotel has a 11 am check out unlike other hotels and despite requesting a noon check out at 8 am, the staff on phone agreed to it but the room key was reset at 11 am preventing access to room. It was a hassle to go down to the front desk wait in line to then be told rudely that requesting noon check out does not mean you room will continue to work past 11 am. You need to come down to the front desk to get it re-enabled. It took 30 minutes including wait time to get the issue resolved.
