No body wash in the shower and no recompense

This particular stay was marred by a few issues. The biggest issue was that there was no body wash in the shower. Because we stayed there on New Year's Eve, we got back to our room around 3 or 4 AM. Imagine trying to shower with no soap at 4 AM after a New Year's Eve party, and not having the energy to call about it. It's not like they would've done anything about it anyway; I've previously called for a toothbrush for my wife, and they don't have staff that can bring things to your room - you have to come down to the front desk to get it yourself. When I complained about the body wash the next day, they were barely apologetic and offered to cover the parking fee; the problem is that they never charged me a parking fee! I told them this and they basically said oh well. I was also unable to get a late checkout because they said too many people had already asked for one. Definitely a stay that will leave me looking elsewhere the next time I stay in the area, which is often.

Horrid Staff.

Very disappointed, staff is extremely rude. I had received a room that was right in front of the air conditioning unit so my view was very poor. I asked the front desk if I could get my room switched to something with a better view, she then proceeded to lie to me about a full booked out hotel even tho it was not. I quite literally had to show their own website that they weren’t booked out and they gave me a room change. Not to mention how all of the staff lacked emotions, felt like I was talking to robots. Would not come back because the staff lacks hospitality.

If you’re going to charge so much for overnight parking, make sure that is disclosed up-front. Being hit with an unexpected $20/night charge upon check-in is off-putting.
