Needs improvement

It was a nice hotel room with all the comforts of home, coffee, teas, iron and board, hair dryer TV, and mini fridge. The water was hit or miss. It was either scalding hot, or freezing cold. Taking a shower took forever, because the temperature was hard to gauge. The air conditioner was very loud, but worked. The pool was out of commission. I’m not sure why. My friend got stuck in the elevator, because the maintenance man was working on it, but didn’t have a sign in front of it telling customers not to use it. When she confronted the staff, they offered no apology, and they said they laughed when they heard her screaming. The location is excellent . There are stores, restaurants and a mall nearby.

The hotel had a great staff, but unfortunately the pool had been closed for health inspections and will be until 2026. The shops and dining around the property were excellent. They also were having tons of issues with rooms and elevator malfunctions.

Phew. Online was provided an accurate description of room and partial truth of amenities. A continental breakfast was stated however it was not continental but paid for restaurant style. A pool was in amenities but at arrival there was a condemned sign at pool. The official website did not have this annotated as well. The ice machines were not of use. I’m suspecting a water issue. They were gathering ice from the bistro area…was that ice safe? The above was not annotated/stated by service desk at check in. Room: we checked in and went up to room. Upon entering it was musty smelling and humid. Proceeded to turn on AC unit to find gathering of dust and pink/black mold in vent. I took pics. Shower had pink mold on wall, black mold in corners and drain. Shower was either ice cold or burning hot. After attempting to figure water out I called down to front desk to get a room change. New room: huge improvement. Was not musty and room was set for occupancy. The water in shower worked. There was still mold in shower drain. The pull out did not have bedding. Requested and receive bedding for it. Stayed for 2 nights. The pool and breakfast were a big reason for choosing this place for my children to keep occupied and fed in a convenient location near my surgical center. The front doors are automatic. The exterior auto door will chop you in half as it does not stop closing even if it hits you. My walker was throw out of hands. ***more to add but not enough characters.

We booked this hotel because when booking it stated, had breakfast and a pool and connecting rooms. When we get there, we’re told our style rooms cannot be connected, but they’re right next to each other. But they weren’t. They were across the hall on the same floor and that’s fine but update your website and communicate better with customers. The first morning we try to go get breakfast and we’re told we have to pay for breakfast! $14 for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is ridiculous. When I explained to the gentleman that we picked this hotel because it included breakfast, he told me to show him where it says that. Then proceeded with an attitude stating that because our rooms were discounted through Expedia, we don’t get breakfast. We went to check out the pool because we planned on having a bum pool day. And when we got there, there was a notice that it was closed by the health department due to bacteria. You would think because of that inconvenience they would’ve at least offered us free breakfast, but they didn’t. We also had to keep getting our cards re-registered to our rooms twice a day. Honestly, we only slept there because of all the nonsense. We will never be staying there again and do not recommend it for anybody to stay there.
