Weekend not so much enjoyable….

Wasn’t made aware that the elevator wasn’t in working condition. So half of the time we were there I had to take stairs which not to mention from the 6th floor. My mother also has a bone disease and some days it’s hard on her knee so that took a toll on her with not being able to use the elevators so not real Handicap Accessible place this past weekend. Black Mold underneath the bathroom sink. Then my 4 year old was walking in front of me which was one of the stair events not knowing where the wet paint may be without signage posted he grabbed the rail and got his jacket covered in paint. After all of this I went to the front desk and voiced how frustrating this stay was for not only me but my family and the manager agreed to load 5,000 points to my account which isn’t really equivalent to a one night stay. I’m home now 8 hours away only to look at my account and I have 2,000 points what a slap in the face…..

Arrived at the property to check in and was told that they were overbooked and had no rooms, I paid for the hotel one week previous. The hotel receptionist was not interested in helping but after me demonstrating that I paid for the hotel one week before, showing payment had left by bank, they then found a room for us (2 x queen bed room). The whole experience was bizarre, had no rooms then find us one after over 20mins! Would never stay at this hotel again

Hotel Under Construction - BEWARE

Checked in late in the evening. Room was hot and the air conditioner said that it was controlled from the thermostat on the wall. Checked the thermostat and there were no batteries. Installed my own batteries and still no air conditioning. Open the cover and it turns out that you can control from the wall unit itself. The phone in the room did not work, so we could not contact the front desk directly and had to use our cell phones. The entire building is being remodeled. The remodel crew is using the main elevators, moving large furniture up and down while all the customers are trying to access the building, or leave, and are unable to do so. The tv does not work properly, constantly going on/off, while many of the stations programmed are static and it was the smallest tv in a hotel unit that I have seen in over a decade. The hot water took 10 minutes to get to my shower and was only ever lukewarm. The included breakfast was cold, especially the potatoes. The last issue encountered during the stay was the overwhelming smell of drugs being used in the building and filling the entire hallway, even into my room.
