Okay stay - bathtub was a mess

When we walked in, the place was spectacular. When we got to our room, our bathtub was in horrible condition. It looked old, in the midst of repair and gave the appearance of being dirty. We will be sending a complaint to the manager and Hotels.com. This hotel is not cheap and our expectation was that it should be perfect.

Had a unique old style while still being super nice and modernized. Hotel was clean, staff was great in all aspects, bed was comfortable. Only thing I could knock was price, but all the hotels in area were elevated due to the Ironman taking place.

As someone who has stayed at this property before, I will never return. While sitting at the hotel bar on Saturday evening, another hotel guest walked up to me unprovoked and struck me in the back. Not only were the security on site not helpful, but they appeared to joke with the person who openly assaulted me after the incident took place. This not only left me feeling unsafe, but I was made to feel as though I had done something to provoke said behavior from the other guest. I have still yet to hear from a manager about the incident.
