First of all our phone wasn't working - front desked had called and I would answer but they couldn't hesr me. So if I needed to talk to front desk, I would need to use my cell phone . Our air conditioning stopped working Saturday night. At 10:40 PM I called the front desk to let them know and the gentleman at the front said he would come up and reset the breaker I had mentioned that our phone didn't work so if he needed to get a hold of me he would have to call my cell phone. He said that he would just knock on my door About 45 minutes later I hadn't heard anything so I called front desk asking for an update. The same gentleman said he had reset the breaker. I told him that the air conditioner was still not working and then he said that he couldn't move us to another room as the hotel was sold out and that he will send up a fan to our room. HE NEVER DID. Location is great - hotel is old and dated - Saturday nights customer service was terrible.

Excellent experience with Expedia. Great customer service and very helpful and prompt with all their information. The hotel unfortunately was not the cleanest. Spent 2 nights there and our room wasn’t cleaned once. Hotel rooms should ALWAYS be cleaned, it’s included in the price and is a mandatory service for ALL guests. We were not pleased with this oversight at all.

The staff and service was great. We were happy to see signs up that they are in the midst of renovating, because the property definitely needs it. The AC was not working in our room, TVs were very old and unable to stream or cast to from personal devices, which would have been ok if they actually had any channels. Our last day we also had no hot water which meant no showers or soaks in the jacuzzi tub we paid extra for. We have stayed here before and been happy with the property so hopefully these renos will being it back to where it was and should be.
