First off the check in staff was polite, efficient and helpful. Then what I got upon opening my room door was a pleasant surprise. The room is what I'd consider perfect. It had everything I needed and more. It's my hope to make this my hotel of choice.

After check in we were informed the property’s elevator was broken, we then checked in and discovered we had been given the wrong room. A married couple with two beds. My husband is 6’4, didn’t work. We had to move the nightstand and put both beds together. We were running late for an event so we had to leave quickly and had no time to leave or change rooms. When we moved the beds we discovered trash, left over clothing and a vape in the non smoking room. We turned on the air and it smelled like smoke in the non smoking room. Later one of us fell ill and we had to extend the room to get well, it wasn’t ideal to stay there and with no elevator, a leave had to be permanent. Finallyy felt better and left called Expedia who contacted property, they refused even with broken elevator to give any compensation, contacting my card company
