The ice machines were not working, the toilet was clogged, and nobody came. After calling countless times, the room was dirty. There was hair in the bathtub and fingerprints all over the furniture, the blinds were broke, the closet was hard to open and close, the water was cold and would not get hot, the elevators took forever to go up and down and we’re extremely hot and stinky inside. Every person in the elevator said the same thing about their rooms, the ice machine, and the cleanliness of the place.

AC DOES NOT WORK

When checking into our room, it was hot and humid. We set the AC to 67 and left the room to get dinner and even after we returned , the temperature did not drop. The fan was just blowing room temperature air. So we had to sleep in a hot and humid room. We also did not have enough towels and called house keeping but no one picked up. We called about 5-6 times before giving up. Other than that, it was a decent night for the price.

This was a great property, I understand they are in the middle of remodeling but we ended up with a room right behind the elevators. It sounded like metal shovels trying to shovel snow all night. We didnt ask to be moved etc. just be aware if you stay during the remodel stay away from a room by the elevators!

I recently stayed at your hotel and had one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve ever had. Upon arrival, I was placed in a smoking room—something I did not request. I immediately asked to be moved to a non-smoking room, which was accommodated. However, the new room did not have a refrigerator. When I requested one, I was told it would cost an additional $25 per day. This is unreasonable, especially since I was informed that the hotel is undergoing renovations and that eventually all rooms will have refrigerators. For now, only “upgraded” rooms or some older rooms include one. Later during my stay, I called housekeeping to request extra pillows. I was on hold for over 30 minutes, repeatedly routed through the automated system without ever reaching a live person. I eventually gave up, completely frustrated. Overall, this was the worst hotel experience I’ve had, especially for a location near the state line where guests expect better value and service. I strongly urge management to address these issues, as I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone until improvements are made.

Hospitality MIA

This was hands down the WORST hotel experience I've ever had. Where do I begin? When we checked in, the front staff staff had zero interest in welcoming guest let alone even doing their jobs. We arrived in our room to find A. They had given us the wrong room. We had reserved a standard king and were put in a double queen. B. The room old, smelly and we even found a used wipe on the floor near the floor lamp. I called the guest services line and was told we'd need to come back down to the front desk and "negotiate " our room issue with them. He also said the hotel was at capacity and i could try?!? We decided to just stay and I'll tell you, I'd have been better off sleeping on the floor. The bed, instead of being flat turned into a V shape and i had springs poking my side all night. Between being stabbed by springs, the alarm clock going off at 3am and the child next door screaming at 2am, 4am and 6am, I was done. I could elaborate on the MANY service mishaps that graced this stay but I will leave my review with one final thought. DO NOT STAY HERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY! I will be calling management first thing monday morning and demanding a refund. I did not pay $300 for a night of torture and poor service. Shut this place down and get it together.

Had a situation with the hot water. Every shower was on the verge of warm. Never hot. Lots of construction. Def not worth the rate they charged
