I loved the staff. Didn't appreciate the classic post-covid "oops no breakfast anymore!" concept a lot of hotels are embracing, yet charging the same price. I picked this place because it was walkable to an Oktoberfest gig I was part of. the paint in my bathroom ceiling was pealing like crazy... definitely not up to the standards of the pretty lobby. Someone also tried to break into my room one night.. not sure if that was because they were drunk or because the front coded door was broken so the staff left it propped. up to your imagination on that one. I'd have given this place 5 stars if they fixed the door, served any form of breakfast, and no one tried to beat down my door in the middle of the night. but I have high standards

Hotel closed and I wasn’t notified!!!!

Made reservations 3 months ago. Arrived at 10:30 pm at hotel to find a sign on the door saying it was closed for renovations! I was not notified of this. Had to find another hotel room for my 3 night stay. Tried calling and nobody answered. Totally unacceptable and unprofessional business practice. How do you close your hotel and not notify people who had reservations??? Unbelievable!!

Closed for renovations- unaware

The hotel was closed for renovations. I was never informed of the closure. I only knew about the closure when I arrived at the hotel on the day of check in to see a hand written sign saying “closed for renovations.” Every phone number was disconnected to the hotel. Very unprofessional and caused a lot of confusion and concern.

When I arrived for check in at the Mark Twain hotel. the receptionist informed me their system was not working with third party booking companies. She was unable to check us in so I had to book a room at another hotel. How do I get a refund ?

They want me to charged again, when I have already payed. I showed them my my receipt. The hotel it's not the best to stay in it, The receptionist it was scramming at us because we didn't want to pay again. if you want to shower you need to let the water run for at list 5 minutes so you can get hot water,the snick never got to get the hot water. The blinds are broken you can closed them, so at night you get all the light form the parking lot. The carpet is so dirty you can't take your shoes. , they are ripoff, they take advantage of people.

I was charged 3 times for a room I could not stay in because the water to the building was off. This was a horrible experience literally ruined the entire trip. The staff was unfriendly and rude. Was even charged extra when requesting a refund. I'm upset and down right offended by this the treatment. I'm so glad I turned my life over to God this place would have been on fire. Why would Expedia recommend such a place.
