Good but not great. Could've been better.

This is my first time travelling by myself, so initially I was amazed of how well the room appeared to be clean. That is, until I noticed some beer cans underneath the cabinet area where the microwave was. I simply just assumed that it could've been a simple mistake by the housekeeping staff, so I just let it slide. However, as I settled in, I gradually started noticing some issues during my stay. On my first night, I requested some hand soap for the bathroom since there was none. Well, I tried requesting for hand soap through the in-room telephone, but there were connection issues. I ended up getting a call from the front staff on my cell phone to request hand soap. A few minutes later, a nice housekeeping lady came in to hand me the soap, and she noticed that my sofa was incorrectly placed. I did not realize it until she pointed that out and stated that whoever cleaned my room before must've forgotten to move the sofa back. She kindly adjusted it for me! But these issues signaled to be that the hotel is missing some marks in key areas. On the second day, however, I noticed something concerning in the elevator. The elevator license was expired. The license stated that it was expired on July 2025. Since I figured that a lot of people have used the elevator, maybe the issue was mentioned to upper management? But it certainly isn't a good look to have an expired elevator license visible to the guests. The staff was amazing however!

I had a terrible time tryi g to check in. I booked my reservation a month ago. Very sweet, but new employee I dont think realized that. Said i had to pay $50 deposit but they would not accept cash. Then system bumped me out or something, and i had to pay up front entire 2 night stay in advance, but again, they would not accept cash. It was so difficult. Then another manager figured it out. I didnt owe deposit, i was an Expedia reservation. Finally got checked in. The rest of the stay was excellent.

Review said 8.8. Not near an 8.8 for us.

We arrived and got our room pretty quickly. An additional $50 deposit for damages was added but I was told would be refunded if all good which was fine. Once we entered the room, we were expecting a king bed(for my wife and I) then a pull out couch(for my 7 and 2 year old). The couch there was barely a love seat and didn’t open. I went to the front desk to address and she told me they didn’t have any more rooms with pull out couches and didn’t ask me if she could help any further(hotel wasn’t close to full). My 7 year old slept on there and we made a pallet on the floor for my 2 year old. The lady at the desk the next day asked me about the stay and I mentioned this and she said with a confused look “but we weren’t even fully booked”. I agreed with her. In our bathroom, there was a dirty wash rag left. Supposedly our room was one of the renovated rooms but when you use the sink, water would leak out of the top. The big reason we picked this hotel was for my seven-year-old to get to swim. So I took him in my two-year-old to the pool and it was not well taken care of. The water had a white flaky substance throughout the entire thing. Pretty gross overall. I DoorDashed some food to my family. I went downstairs to the convenience area to buy my wife and I a Diet Coke. We took them upstairs and opened them and they tasted terrible with no fizz. The expiration date was August 14 of 2024. I was able to replace them but she acted as if I was trying to make it up.

We arrived on the 15th in the afternoon to a lobby without air. Due to a shortage of housekeeping employees we had to wait nearly 1.5 hours. When we got to our room it didn't have a handicap shower, any lightbulbs in the lamps, a television or working air conditioning. We had to walk to the lobby to talk to management as the phone didn't work. We had to go back to the lobby and wait another 45 minutes for a new room. We got our new room that still didn't have a handicap shower or seating. The toilet in this room wasn't flushing. The phone didn't work, the bathtoom wasn't clean, and the ceiling had what lloked like black mold. Another walk to the front desk to ask for maintenance. Housekeeping came and plunged it and said I dont know. After talking to management again she said she'd work on it. She came to the room to verify and told us to pack up and wait while she found a room. We eventually were moved to a room on the first floor with a handicap shower. Aside from a bathroom that we had to clean (base of toilet seat where it screws in and underside of seat had body fluids, and the shower had hair and black dirt) this room worked for the rest of our stay. Alpharetta had several events going on which made finding another hotel impossible.our trip to Alpharetta and our 2 night stay was for a medical procedure.

Breakfast was marginal most mornings with no cinnamon rolls and only eggs after 9. My main issue was getting a refund for unused days. I had a medical emergency and had to leave early. When making the reservation, I had to prepay for my entire stay. The hotel only refunded one day after repeated requests.

The staff in the kitchen was remarkable? The last thst was preparing the food was so friendly and nice, always had a huge smile on her face and she made sure to tell me good morning. I appreciated thst, however, the front desk rep didn’t say a word to me she worked at night and when I would pass by no eye contact or no greeting. One thing that was inconvenient was only one of the the elevators were working..
