Comfortable room, poor AC design

We came to the hotel to get relief from the extreme heat and reserved a 1 bedroom suite. The air conditioner was in the main living room, there was not anything in the bedroom. The design of the room was that they put a hole in the wall near the AC unit in the living room and screwed a vent cover on each side of the wall that went from the living room to the bedroom, which was a terrible design. The coolness only dripped into the bedroom, so we had to leave the bedroom door open (which was a problem for my autistic daughter who needed the door closed). Even with the door open the coolness was limited and made it difficult to sleep. The overall hotel was clean, the employee we encountered was nice and helpful. The room was comfortable, except for the heat.

The room was fine. I couldn’t find any remotes for either of the tvs. Didn’t bother asking it was only 1 night. But they took my card for incidentals and I’ve been charged for 2 extra nights. I’ve already called once without resolution. I’ve stayed there before but now I’m not sure I’ll stay again for that reason. It shouldn’t happen in the first place but I also shouldn’t have to call more than once to have erroneous charges reversed.

The front desk manager and staff were friendly, helpful, and answered many questions. The cleaning staff were very helpful too. The bedding and bathroom linens were fresh, clean, and fluffy. The bedroom was very comfortable and spacious. The living area, sofa, recliner, bar stools, and computer swivel chair were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was clean and a generous size, I could accomplish a lot, and my stay was relaxing and productive.

The staff were very friendly and responsive. I had an issue with check-in and needed some manager's involvement to correct it, which was handled satisfactorily The overall cleanliness was good, and the exterior was well-maintained. I was informed that they were renovating rooms; mine was comfortable, clean, and had a kitchenette. The daily rate was worth the accommodations.

The room that I reserved Friday to Monday stay was not available due to a guest refusing to leave until Sunday- made no sense. I was accommodated with a rollaway bed which clearly was not the original Queen suite that I paid for in advanced. The rollaway bed limited space greatly.

Hotels.com service is unacceptable

You guys charge $20 for your services as just figured. Candlewood suites charged us after you another $99. So I assume you got so lazy, you can’t even make a deal between yourself and your vendors. Very bad. I will skip you next time.
