Clean but lots of problems

On the positives front, there are some key things: room and bathroom were pretty much spotless (tower room), bed was comfortable, the room was very quiet despite a sold out property, and the location is pretty much in walking distance (1 mile basically to downtown) But there were lots of problems: Service is very lackluster to bad. Waited for a while for someone to arrive to check us in. We had no bath towels in the room when we got there, went down and asked for some at the front desk and the guy said he would get us some, asked for 4 but told the property was sold out so only could give me 2 (what if my room had more than 2 people?). Breakfast was a joke really. Would rather they just do 3-4 things well than what’s going on there. But instead it’s bagels but no cream cheese, horrible gas station premade burritos, dry microwaved eggs in an area that was messy. Coffee was fine on the breakfast floor but no coffee ever in the main lobby area despite a coffee area all set up. Back in the room had a few things break including the towel hook and then the shower knob was so loose the dripping from the shower would turn the temperature to scalding on its own. Never had maid service for a 2 night stay. Front desk guys kept their heads down when we would come and go I guess to avoid being asked to do something. Out of order vending machines in the lobby and lower floor and didn’t feel great that my car was safe in the parking lot. At over $200/nt we just expect some basics.

Questionable service

My stay was decent. On Monday Morning a gentlemen walked into my room without knocking or annuncing himself with a key. I was in the restroom getting dressed. This was extremely disturbing. The desk clerk was not very concerned when I addressed it. During check out I requested a receipt for my stay and the clerk told me that hotels.com would be emailing it to me and I have still not received a receipt. When I checked in the clerk told me that my tax exemption was on my account and that it would be reflected on my receipt when I checked out. Again my stay was decent but the customer service was poor.

Comforter was stained, towel in bathroom was dirty, shower didn’t drain properly so it filled up during shower, parts of room didn’t even look up to code (ie light switch cut thinner to fit in corner…weird). Pre-Paid for stay for two nights and checked out a day early. No refund

Upon arrival I was checked into the wrong room, then once I got into the right room that I paid for the towels had stains on them, there was food left in the fridge from someone that had previously stayed, the room smelled of mildew and urine, and the breakfast food was terrible. Definitely do not recommend here if you are a clean person.
