FIRE MARISSA ALREADY
Pros:

I will start off by saying, we have booked here 3 times and every time it's been something. We love the location/ breakfast/rooms have been clean when we have gone. We even had family start staying there with is WHICH WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

2 years ago we came and left a spurs jersey, We called & they had it. told us we had to pick up within 30 days. We drove out there on a weekend bc you know almost everyone works during the week. For us to get there and MARISSA WHOEVER THE READ/ORANGE HEAD) they couldn't give it to us bc it was locked in a room, I asked if there was someone she could call, we were 4 hours away verse whoever had that key to the room where it was supposably locked. ended up having to make another trip to get the jersey.

Last year when we stayed the A/C in our room was out, luckily they had another room to put us in. we had to move all our luggage.

THIS YEAR, we booked our stay in MAY , for June 26th-28th, We ended up adding an extra night beginning of June, we got to the hotel around 9pm on the 26th for MARISSA to tell us our room was cancelled bc they tried to run the card the night before and she said they called us which was A LIE. They have never charged our card before we checked in. My husband told her we drove 4 hours and have kids in the car and she said "that's unfortunate" he proceeded to get upset and they said they were calling the cops for trespassing. when we got back home we reached out out to IHG and they told us the room was cancelled and they never tried running the card so everything MARISSA said was a LIE! SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED AT THIS POINT, HER AND HER BOYFRIEND BRIAN WHO WORKS THERE ALSO.
