Terrible service, but decent rooms

Check in was terrible. The woman at the front desk was not helpful at all and was more interested in her phone than helping people. I asked her which entrance would be better to park at for getting to my room and she just kept telling me my room was upstairs. When I came inside with my family after check in, I noticed the elevator was down closest to the main entrance. I asked the woman at the front desk if there was another elevator and at first she said no. Then she said she told me earlier that the elevator at the end of the hall was the only working one. I told her she did not because she wasn't helpful at all when I came in before and went to my room.

It was decent until I discovered a cockroach on the bed. The front staff was apologetic and management gave me a $30 discount, so at least they tried to make up for it.

The cleanliness of the room was mediocre at best, there were used a-tips and hair in the bathroom floor and well as the linens on the space bed did not look as if they had been washed but just remade.

Horrible

Didn’t have a crib. Called 2 weeks prior to arrange for a crib. Was told it was first come first serve but we’d be travelling on a Monday, as per the front desk, she’s never not had a crib available in her entire time working there on a Monday. Weird the one Monday I go, there aren’t any? I don’t even think this location has cribs it’s so run down. Pictures are deceiving. Front desk was barely helpful. Didn’t offer a receipt, asked me if she wanted my card on file charged, I said I wanted another card charged, she charged the one on file anyways? Didn’t give any information on breakfast. Definitely do not recommend.

Never Again

This is my fourth time having a bad experience with this hotel. I stayed because it’s close to family, once we found a used condominium, the power blew on one side of the room, they changed my room, only to get in the room next door and nothing worked but at that point I was tired.

I traveled from Michigan to attend a wedding and when i went to check in there was no electricity and no backup generators. We had to book another hotel to get changed and rushed to wedding. Stff didn't even update us about this earlier so we could figure out something in advance

Property was dirty, food on the foor while looking at our room. One of the elevators was not working so we had to walk to the end of the hall, get on the other elevator, go up then walk all the way back. Also the property decided to down grade our room from 1 king to 2 beds without telling us. Then when we went back to the front desk they wouldn't issue a refund. After i talked to expedia they agreed to give us less than half our money back.
