Should have booked elsewhere….

Hotel location was good for where our final destination was….but that’s where the good stops. After a long day of traveling and family activities we arrived to the hotel where we were delayed almost an hour at check in due to what I was told were computer issues. We finally get everything squared away and got our room keys and off we went. Got to the room door, slid the key in and turned the handle and were greeted by a locked security latch. We were given a room that was already occupied. Pretty sure we scared the people that were sleeping inside the room. So we trek back down to the lobby (a completely different building) and explain what happens. The desk guy apologized and we were given another room and keys and off we went. We get to the 2nd room and wouldn’t you know it….it was occupied. This time we were yelled at by the occupants who appeared to have been intoxicated. So myself, my wife, 15yo son, 13yo daughter and 3 year old daughter are getting yelled at in the hallway at no fault of ours. Who knows how out of hand things could have gotten if I didn’t apologize and try and explain the situation. So once again we trek back down to the lobby where we were apologized to a 3rd time now. So now the front desk guy said he got us another room and he will go check it out himself first…I agreed as I told him I’m not walking back and forth a 3rd time. All this time I have 3 grumpy kids who were ready for bed 90 minutes prior. Issues with room…but I’m out of characters.

This place was really great to stay at. The only thing I would say is I think there needs to be a little better grounds maintenance. Garbages at the outside dining area should be checked more frequently so that it doesn’t overflow. Other than that it was amazing and I’d easily stay again.
