Out of date style. Loud Latin night club music in the lobby. You have to pay for breakfast….. 2 bucks for an apple. Rust in showers and chipped paint on ceiling walls outside the showers. The only positive thing was the cleaning staff were friendly and helpful.

The rooms were renovated since my last stay. However, I did not appreciate the lack of customer service of the evening front desk attendant. I was locked out of my room for 45 minutes on 2 of my 3 nights stay and was told that it was because the card was left in my wallet although I never put the card in my wallet. Maintenance finally called to fix the lock and advised that the battery died in the card reader. I love the area but I will never stay there again.

Going downhill?

I have stayed at this property over a dozen times over the years because we have family in the immediate area, also it is pet friendly and we can bring our dog. It’s been fine. However, on this last visit of six nights I had several issues. The first room was so noisy with intermittent buzzing that I was repeatedly Awoken in the middle of the night. I changed rooms after the second night. The other issue was that over the course of a six night stay, housekeeping did not show up even once! I’d leave the room mid morning around 10 and be out all day until 9p, removing the DND sign when I left the room, expecting the used towels left on the floor to be taken away, the vanity neatened up, paper coffee cups, and coffee pods to be replaced. A couple times I even spoke to the maid directly that I was leaving. Nope, clean did not happen! After a couple nights of the towels not being replaced, I asked the front desk to pls send some towels to the room. Their answer was, we don’t have anyone, and I had to retrieve the towels myself. Which I did, because the towels for the last three days were all on the floor , and they remain there until checkout lol. Also, for the first two nights, there was no running water between midnight and 4 AM. Not such a big deal, but combined with the incredibly loud buzzing in the first room, and lack of professional housekeeping, I really wondering what is going on with this property.

I found that water will be shut off at mid night due to maintenance on the day of check-in. If it was scheduled maintenance why I was not informed immediately after booking ticket.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay; however, I would like to note that the air conditioning in the building was not operational, which resulted in an uncomfortable heat. Additionally, the elevator service was quite slow. Despite these issues, I found my experience to be very positive and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you.
