RUN, FAR FAR AWAY!! The absolute worst stay unfortunately due to the GM and housekeeping of all things. ZERO accountability!! I always put WiFi cameras in my room due to having a service dog. The housekeeper was caught, looking directly at the camera, walking over and covering it up with a pillow multiple times! Our luggage and my wife’s purse was then rifled through among other things. Fortunately my cameras alert me and we returned immediately and made her leave before anything could be taken. We addressed it with the GM and she reduced it to trivial nonsense, and of course the housekeeper is one of her best so the customer is always wrong! Great concept! Customer service CA style typical! She literally couldn’t stop yawning long enough to last a 3 minute conversation, insulting at best. Sent it to corporate, NO RESPONSE!! I guarantee after I send it to every news channel in the US they will come up with an answer! Theft and lies, poor customer service, and I didn’t even get a chance to actually talk about the facility shortcomings.
