Very poor service.

I had to ask the front desk if they could please service our room; clean towels, get the trash, make the bed. When i returned back to our room at 10:30 pm I found no clean towels and the bed had not been made. Housekeeping did go in and took the dirty towels and took care of the trash. I had to go to the frontdesk and ask for clean towels and see why the bed was not made? She replied back that they only do the beds when we leave. I had to explained to her once againthat i am handicapped and I can not get in between the bed and the wall to make the bed. She just looked at me and said nothing. Very poor service.

Pool & hot tub out of service, was not informed of this at time of booking stay. Informed of closure at 10 pm when checking in. Too late to find another hotel. TV in room did not work. Breakfast in the morning was terrible. Based on very poor, disappointing stay experience, requested refund but hotel refused. I will not stay at this hotel again

Stayed her prior and it was great so booked again. Spa was not working! Loud guests slamming doors all day and night long. Huge gap under door had to use towels to cover so no one could get in. Found things of previous guests still in there. Not a good visit at all

The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve slept in on a long time. We did stay during the ice storm and no one had de iced the parking lot yet which was unfortunate and the parking lot is very small with not really any parking around. The door had a large gap down the side and bottom of it to where we just put a blanket across the bottom to hide the light and sound. For the most part it was a decent stay. Close to many food places and shopping and easy to get around.
