Ho-hum

This visit was pleasant enough with a couple of exceptions. First, there was a smelly, overly full trash can at a public bus stop near the hotel when I arrived; this was atypical for the location. Second, there was an evacuation emergency on the morning of my check out.

WE only had1 bottle water two coffee bags and two little creamers. I asked front desk before we went up for the night for more. Lady said we would have to ask housekeeping. I thought she should have called housekeeping to fill the coffee tray. Tried to call on the phone but was no instructions how to call housekeeping.

Our room was clean and quiet. The property conveniently located to all we needed to move my son in for school. I liked having a Fresh Market across the street and First Watch for breakfast nearby was a treat. Communication with staff wasn’t the best. I came back after a long day of moving and errands to find the room was not made up and there were no fresh towels. I called to inquire and was told they only service when requested, I considered that my request for the next day and was dismayed to find the room was not attended to the next day either. I can make my own bed but I truly enjoy having things freshened a bit. The hotel was busy and parking was hard to come by adjacent to the building, I ended up in the parking garage everyday, which is fairly close. There were multiple signs saying I needed a parking pass, I asked for one at the desk and was told I did not need one although I saw other cars with them, so I was always a little concerned that I would be ticketed or towed. The few times I asked a question at the desk I was left with the distinct feeling I was bothering the desk agent. Besides those minor inconveniences it was a fine stay.

A lot of small hassles. Booked through Expedia today, chose nonrefundable since I was on my way to the hotel- no pet fee was mentioned. I tried calling the hotel many times just to give them a heads up that I had a pet with me, but never got through…. I was stuck in a automated voicemail loop. When I got to the hotel I was charged $75 as a pet fee. When I said it was not mentioned when I booked the reservation, they said “ that’s why we tell everyone to book through our website.” Um pretty sure that level of sophistication is currently available through the Internet? When I mentioned I had tried to call,”oh, our phones are broken.” The phone in the room itself would not connect to the front desk. What are you supposed to do if there’s an emergency and you need to reach the front desk? Anyhow, but seems like a decent price suddenly became kind of an expensive price for mediocre experience. In addition, the hotel is undergoing construction. The marketplace was closed, so there were no food options, not even vending machine machines for drinks. I got carryout, but then there were no napkins or silverware in the room. I asked at the front desk, and it took her five minutes to run all the way around the hotel and go someplace to get plastic silverware. I feel bad for the employees! Could be a nice hotel, my room is nice and things are modern, in good condition and clean, but seems disorganized.

An absolute disaster

I’ve stayed at this property when in town for work probably a dozen times over the past 2 years. It always has its issues but it’s a good value for a basic room, clean and good location for me. This time it was very different. It seems like the entire hotel was under construction with zero concessions or notice given to guests. No lobby, no food, no bar, no pool and no gym. Had to enter thru a dirty cockroach infested side service door in the pouring rain. I was put in the loudest (hearing impaired) room for no apparent reason. Internet and cable not working. Promise my daughter there would be a pool, packed swimsuits and booked this hotel over other options for that reason. Nothing to do on the property because literally everything was closed off. Planed on watching a movie.. no movie, no internet.. could not even get phone service. Honestly it was probably the worst hotel experience ever. They should issue a full refund!!
