DISHONEST MANAGEMENT AND TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Pros:

I had a very disappointing experience with this hotel. After my stay, I discovered I had been overcharged, and when I reached out to resolve the issue, the staff refused to issue a refund. After five phone calls promising a response from the manager for the refund...crickets. After calling IHG corporate, they stated the manager cited a “policy” as the reason, yet were unable or unwilling to provide any documentation or clear explanation of what that policy actually was.

The lack of transparency and accountability was frustrating. Mistakes can happen, but how a business handles them speaks volumes. In this case, instead of working toward a fair resolution, the hotel chose to deflect and stand behind an unverified rule. Bad for them as we have six weeks in the immediate area for a work project and have found a much better hotel for all of our rooms.

I would strongly caution others to carefully review their bills and clarify all charges upfront before staying here. Based on my experience, customer service and trust are not priorities at this establishment. Very disappointing!

Awful
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room was tiny, 1 queen bed, 1 kitchen chair, 1 office chair. No chair or sofa for watching the old 20" TV. Towels old & scratchy. Bed duvet smelled like men's cologne, I dont think it was clean. Bed extreamly soft. We went out for a few hours and returned to find our door ajar. We always push on doors to be sure theyre locked. Management says it looked at videos and didnt see anyone enter. The room door next to us was also ajar. They said they had maintenance in there. There were only 2 paper cups for coffee, none for drinking or brushing teeth. I would not classify this as a suite! We won't ever use this chain of hotels again.

I was satisfied with my stay, but the physical aspects of the building need to be updated.
Pros:

The staff was amazing! If I were basing this review on just the staff and amenities, it would be a 10!

Cons:

The whole building could use a refresh. All details were nice, but showing its age. Carpets were wearing thin.
