Family Trip Ruined by Hidden Fees and Unsafe Conditions
Pros:

This hotel deserves to be called out for both its unsafe room conditions and how it handled billing issues.
I booked through Working Advantage, and my specific room type did not show resort or parking fees when I made the reservation. When I arrived, the hotel still charged me those fees. Working Advantage later acknowledged that some room types listed those charges while mine did not, and even after they tried to get a refund on my behalf, the hotel refused.
The room itself was in terrible condition. The shower leaked, the phones did not work, the internet would not connect, and the damaged flooring between the bathroom and main room had nails sticking up through the carpet that I stepped on multiple times. That is dangerous and should never be acceptable in a guest room. Towels were not replaced, and I had to track down a janitor myself just to get clean ones.
I reported the problems and was told they would be handled in the morning, only to later be told by a supervisor that the employee who said that had quit and never documented anything, so no action was taken. This hotel failed on basic cleanliness, maintenance, safety, customer service, and billing transparency. Even when the booking company tried to resolve the issue, the hotel still refused to refund the undisclosed fees. Terrible experience and absolutely not recommended.
