The check-in was our first clue that this place is a disaster. We arrived a couple of hours before check-in time at 4pm. Sometimes you can check in early sometimes you can’t. Not only were we told we could not, we were told they might not have a room until after 8pm. 1:30 pm No. We followed up at 330-Not ready. Then again at 430…Nope. Now it’s 6pm surely we can check in??? Not a chance, but they call us. As they have been storing our luggage for now 5 hours. Did I get a phone call??? Nope! Checking in now at 11:30 PM and not a single apology. But wait for it… our room keys don’t work, which happens sometimes. They didn’t just get us a new pair…no we had to call security/maintenance to “Fix the door”. Because they obviously knew it was broken. Finally get into our room at 12:15 AM. I have more to complain about parking and elevators. Just do yourself a favor and choose a different hotel.
