Upon check in we learned that TRAVELOCITY is FALSELY ADVERTISING rooms that this hotel does not have. I booked this rooms 6 weeks prior and instead i got there and they told me they dont have a king bed room, only rooms with 2 double beds. Then we found out that the hotel is CLOSED sunday-thursday when I booked it friday to tuesday. They kept us locked out of the building with no access to our room and we had to be let in by staff each time we came back to thw hotel- one time waiting up yo an HOUR in the DARK at 9pm before we got let in. They gave us no discount on the room change and service was not good. I am so disappointed that Travelocity misrepresented this hotel or I would have never booked there, and being a small crappy hotel anyways they wouldnt do ANYTHING to make the situation better. The only thing that was remotely okay were 2 staffers at the hotel who were nice and friendly. Some engagement weekend. Fix it, Travelocity.

I am sorry we were not able to provide you with a great experience during your stay. I would like to offer my sincere apologies. We have since fixed the issue with the doors being locked to guests. We will continue to work hard to fix the issues you experienced.

First thing we found was the tv remote didn’t work, tried calling and no answer. Called again later no answer. I walked to the front desk and nobody was there? Then I got into bed and I felt like I was at someone’s old cabin up north. Not just a sagging bed but it was like 6” difference from the sides to the middle of the bed. I didn’t sleep more than an hour that night!

The room was clean enough, although there were still some clothes and food left in the drawers/fridge from a previous guest? The wifi was very weak, as was the heat, but otherwise I had no problems and the staff was very accommodating to our super early check in.

On arrival the computer was down, couldn’t check in or cancel. Clerk told me that even if I cancelled I was going to be charged a cancellation fee. Hope not.

We are so sorry you were not happy with your stay with us. We did check into the issues you experienced and the lamps are controlled by a switch on the wall. So sorry this was not taken care of while you were staying with us. As for the noise we are sorry you did not get the rest that you needed. Vacations are for rest and we are sorry you didn't get this.
