"Okay, so I really wanted to like this hotel. It's a midcentury building, and there are still some midcentury details that are honestly so cute and charming--like the ceiling in my room was just gorgeous. The orange and beige vinyl space-age couches in the lobby are stunning if a bit worn. My room had a patio and shared a fenced-in yard with the other rooms on my side/floor, and it was nice because my very active toddler was able to run around a little without running off. The beds were very comfortable, the sheets were clean and soft, and the staff were very nice.
Aside from the beds, though, this place is dirty. If you wear bare feet in the rooms, your feet will be black with dirt. I didn't trust the bathtub enough to bathe my son in it, and we actually ended up not even showering there and just waiting until the next place. The first room they gave us had a patio door that didn't unlock, but nor did it really close securely, so it was unusable as a patio door AND kinda felt like someone might break in through it if they didn't mind damaging it (they did move us to another room). The floorboards were very dirty, the fridge smelled, everything but the beds just looked gross. There are sketchy people hanging around who seem drugged out.
We booked two nights. We didn't really need two nights, we needed one night and a very late checkout, but we considered staying a second night initially since we booked it. We ended up not feeling comfortable staying a second night and left."
"Upon check-in, I informed the front desk staff that I was sorry in advance and that there was a baseball team coming to stay for the weekend. I was greeted with a less than warm response, saying they’re better not be any loud noise and she doesn’t want to deal with any complaints. The pool chlorine was so strong that we needed to prop the door open because the boys eyes were burning and again the front desk woman with was not very friendly. when we left for the day for baseball the housekeeping would not clean one of my beds because there was a towel on it. This is ridiculous. Not to mention the room smelled like weed. will not stay here again. There was one staff member who was extremely friendly but the woman with the dark hair was terrible. Clearly this tournament happens every year and the staff should be prepared and welcoming.
Also the place had zero lighting. Could barely see down the hallways."
"The room smelled like cigarettes..... the hallways were with trash everywhere. The breakfast coffee machine was broken. all they could tell me was the technician is on the way to fix the coffee machine."
"The lady who checked us in was extremely helpful, pleasant, and friendly. We asked about moving to a room on the river side. She was willing to show us 2 different rooms"
"Kiosk to check in with a very rude customer representative. Foul smell throughout hotel. No freezer in mini fridge was told I could get one for a extra fee. Hairs in the towels."
