The pool was closed all weekend, leaving guests without access. Breakfast was quite limited, offering only oatmeal, cereal, waffles, yogurt, and some fruit, much of which was already gone. The ceiling above the bathtub leaked whenever the room above us used water, creating a persistent drip. Inside the room, there was only a tiny trash can, and the drawers tended to stick. The gym door had no handle, making access difficult. Many utilities were in poor condition, and the hotel’s numerous potted plants were wilted and dead, adding to the sense of neglect.

The stay was not pleasant. The hotel was dismal.

There was construction inside the hotel, with chairs/sofas against the walls in the hallways. The room did not smell fresh/clean. The hot tub was not available - it seems to be under construction. The breakfast was not good - it was subpar, with very few breakfast items and no fruits.

I would like a refund.

Hot tub is closed until the city can inspect. I was placed in a room not renovated. The couch was in terrible condition, the chair was stained, the floor lamp was broken and missing pieces to the lamp shade. The heater looked like it was from the 1980’s. It did not regulate heat. It was insanely hot or freezing in the room. It was either on or off. The vents to it were broken and it was covered in dust and debris. The bathroom was disgusting. The tub has peeling paint and no drain plug. Hair and dirt all around the tub. The tile was dirt or mold. Mirror was foggy, wallpaper and counter were in poor condition. No options on the TV. Barking dog ALL night. Breakfast is cereal, bagels & other breads, yogurt. No one ever at the front desk. Theres also a snow covered mattress outside next to entrance 2 that has dog pee all over it.

Over the last several years we have watched this hotel go downhill. But this was our final stay. They switched check in to a video person, which you can barely understand, which in turn made check in a hassle and took three times as long. Right when entering the hotel we were greeted by mice running through the lobby and they now stopped providing conditioner and body soap (they still have shampoo!) in the showers. The beds have always been hard as a board but we continued to stay at this hotel because it was close to the venue we needed to be at. But this latest visit was the worst. This hotel has become disgusting and inconvenient. Despite the convenience of the location we would rather stay further away for a better hotel and we are even picky! Lol

Useless machine and dirty rooms!!!

I have never seen or used a check-in machine before, and I found it to be very ineffective. It took forever to get checked in. There was someone at the front desk, so I don’t understand why we had to use the machine. I also had trouble understanding the staff member, despite the subtitles that were supposed to help. Overall, the machine felt completely pointless.

Additionally, I found it strange that I had to show my credit card up close to the camera while they typed the information into their computer. There was a card reader available for use, so I’m not sure why that wasn’t an option. The place wasn’t even busy, which made the use of an online check-in machine seem unnecessary.

Lastly, the condition of the room was disappointing. It was very dirty, especially the bathroom!

Getaway Gone Wrong

Cons: The hot tub was out of order which really upset me because that was the ENTIRE reason I booked this hotel so I was super disappointed right away. Then our king size bed was rock hard and horribly uncomfortable so rather than feeling rested and rejuvenated from this stay, I felt restless and frustrated. The breakfast selection was bad as well… waffles, cold cereal, bagels … the cream cheese was sour.

Pros: The place was clean and quiet. The room was spacious. The AC worked good.

I personally judge a hotel by how comfortable the beds are because really the whole point of being in a hotel is comfort and the only thing these beds were missing were the nails never in my life have I slept on a mattress this hard. Other than that it wasn't terrible but when the beds are so hard you literally cannot sleep then there's really no point in staying at that hotel in my opinion.
