Traumatizing Experience - Profiling and Harassment
I would give this hotel zero stars if I could. My experience here ended with the staff calling the police and an ambulance on me while I was simply sitting in the parking lot.
I had been a guest at the hotel and went to the store. I returned and parked to wait for my girlfriend, who was still upstairs packing so we could check out. Instead of a staff member approaching me like a human being or checking their records to see I was a guest, they jumped straight to calling 911.
To have the police and an ambulance pull up on you for waiting in a parking lot is blatant profiling and completely unacceptable. The staff is unprofessional, discriminatory, and created a dangerous situation out of thin air.
Avoid this place at all costs, especially if you expect to be treated with basic dignity and respect.

Room is ok and cozy but When I checked in I had to deal with Jennifer who’s have a very bad attitude and very rude . Besides that why so much noise in the middle of the night? Its incredibly noisy around 11pm til 3 or 4am. The room even shakes no matter what floor we're on, I have been here for 5 night already and not been able to sleep . As I’m typing this review it’s 3:06 am, somebody from next room it’s banging the walls and the banging is so strong that my bed gets push away from wall, head rest it’s about to fall off . This is nerve racking .

Charged me for a day I didn’t stay because I cheated out because the staff was rude. Go to the the Tru by Hilton if you’re wanting a drama free , clean, comfortable place to stay. I am a diamond elite member so I know what I am talking about. In my opinion I suggest the tru or Campbell house .

DECEPTIVE BILLING — this hotel advertises a price, then upon arrival they attempt to charge a mandatory $10/night “incidental charge” whether you purchase snack items or not. I asked if the charge was refunded if we didn’t buy anything and was told it was NOT refunded, it was a charge. When I showed the clerk my reservation, which clearly showed the contracted rate and no incidental fees mentioned, I was told “I just work here, you have to pay it.” I had to insist she call an off-site manager to waive it.
This hotel advertises on Booking and Expedia with lower rates than their nearby competitors, then attempts to up your rate when you arrive.
