Pros:

I checked in late after 11pm. I didn't neglect to check the room condition. First, I had a bad key & had to go down for another. Furst room had mold on the toilet lid, stained walls and dirty bathroom. I was moved to a room with a connecting door & a slide lock missing screws. I slept with lights in my clothes & left my earbuds. No one will call me to get them back. Excuses about who's there, when & a safe. Very old dingy rooms. I was on the 5th floor. The lobby is beautiful and deceiving as to what to expect in a room.

Pros:

Rooms could have been cleaner. Found hair in bed, sink and tub walls. it wasn't mines. Front desk was ok the lady at checkin was very helpful.
Bar-meh ran out of certain items on the menu, kind of slow not to be busy.
Your site stated there was a pool there is no pool.
Best part free parking

Pros:

Made a reservation for two rooms via Expidia, two months prior to the trip. They claim they only had one reservation and had to pay significantly more than the original reservation price(not allowed to post the rate of increase). Amazingly they found the other reservation 3 hours later and was told that I could only get a refund for unused reservation. That is terrible service. No one can explain how this happened. Would you trust them again with your bussiness? I am guessing no.

Getting off the elevator to check out I was greeted by a snake. A 12 inch or so baby snake . I don’t believe I need to say anything more.

Pros:

The staff was amazing there. The only thing I did not like was when we got to the room. We did see a lot of paint peeling on the ceiling. And when we got there in the room in the bathroom, there was only one shampoo one conditioner and it was booked for 2 adults So last night when we got back from the concert, we were to ask again for the conditioner and they had none.

Pros:

We were stuck for the night after cancelled flights. This hotel was recommended by another passenger but we will not stay there again. First room we were given was under construction no tub no toilet ceiling debris on the floor beds not made. Went back and was given another room but after a long day of travel the staff should have known what was usable and what was not

Pros:

I booked here after a flight cancellation. The staff were super pleasant and the facilities, although outdated, seemed kept up with. My first complaint would be about the beds. My son and I shared a room with 2 queens. I gave him the mattress that seemed decent enough, but the bed I slept in was like a piece of plywood with a 1/2 inch pad. It was the only time I've removed a fitted sheet to make sure it was in fact a mattress under it. My biggest complaint comes in the form of an event that was being hosted at the hotel. From my understanding it was a very LARGE family reunion that featured a DJ. I don't know if they could have turned the volume up louder than they had it. The TV in our room was hard to hear over the music playing several floors below us and the entire room was vibrating. I believe they finally cut it at 11pm. I understand this probably isn't an everyday occurence, but it seemed ridiculous to me that the music was allowed to be held at that level.
