Amanda at the front desk was rude and condescending for no reason… I asked a simple question “Can I check into a room for the night?” and was met with laughter and a condescending response from her and the dude she was chatting with at the front desk. There was an older gentleman standing right behind me waiting to ask the same question. He walked out with me and said to me “people just don’t care anymore”. Glad I made your night, Amanda.

The room was extremely humid. The AC is not working properly. I called the front desk and they were supposed to come look at it, never did. Walls and ceiling are paper thin and people were coming, going, moving around watching tv, talking all night long. I was not able to sleep which defeats the purpose of this $200 room. I’m listening to people walk above me as I type this. I had a medical procedure that requires me to rest and have a day full of events that I will be exhausted for. A terrible experience the to would not recommend.

The internet does not work at all. The whole place smells like a cheap gas station air freshener. The snack bar is more barren than my grandmother’s loins. The gym has 4-1/2 pairs of dumbbells. And my room’s air conditioner doesn’t work. This place should be condemned.

Housekeepers are harassers constantly asking for for tips (money) for doing the bare minimum of your job title. Me as a guest I am not obligated to fulfill your needs in form of any payments. Management needs to handle that immediately!
