Upon entering rm was hit by earthly smell (mold) air conditioning increased mold smell. Couldn't breath, equipment didn't work, no lights or H2O, and towel rack above toilet ready to fall on you while you use toilet. Toilet was only thing working & it was filthy....Worst, & most unhealthy place I was forced to stay. When you check in at 9 at night you have no choice ugh... Asthma attacks, blankets visablely stained. I took pictures of fixtures hanging from walls, dried urine all over...... Yes worst
It's visibly not level. Thatsb beacause it's hanging out of wall
Where towel rack should be connected
TV duck taped to keep it up
A stain one or two of MANY

There was a mouse in the room. Enough said

The hotel is marked up tremendously due to the summer tour season. So I was already paying way more for way less. Then I informed the staff that there was a mouse in my room and they never followed up or ever returned contact with me about anything related to addressing the mouse or any level of compensation.

There was damage in the room (holes in the wall, shelf falling down), and when reported the staff said “ok, I will let the manager know” but there was no effort to fix it or offer to move to another room. The staff seemed nice but not very helpful. For example we asked for towels several times (we only had 2 in the room) and never got them. Also, the breakfast was disappointing and the pool was very cloudy to the point you couldn’t see the bottom.

At check in the lady was just doing her job. Nothing more. Not really friendly or welcoming. The room itself was pretty nice. Recently redone. The hall though had a really bad odor. The jets in the hot tub didn’t work. The pool was ok until they drained it during our stay with no notice or explanation. There were a couple missing windows which anyone could just come into the building through.

Bloo

All the top floor window screens were broken, the counter tops were dirty, the bathroom sink had blood on it, the pillows had dirt on them, the bed smelled like a sweaty armpit, the bathroom shower was slippery, the safety vision door button had toilet paper stuffed in it, the neighbors were very loud. The front desk checkout people were outside cat calling me at a picnic table in the parking lot.
