Such a Disappointment/Especially for the high pric

Worst thing was there no coffee maker even tho Hotels.com says there was. We had to go down the street to get coffee (they don't serve any). We should get a refund or credit because of this. Please contact me. The room needs a lot of work. Toilet seat cover did not fit the toilet. Light bulb was out & kitchen area had no light and no light fixture. Couldn't put anything in freezer - needed defrosting. I asked for an extra towel and washcloth. They would only give me 1 washcloth because we already had 2 towels & 1 washcloth.

Falsely advertised EV charging at property. It seems people are living in most of the rooms. Broken down cars and trash along with an abandoned Denny’s building in parking lot. Windows in shower with no security barrier. Humidity stains on the ceiling and botchy wall patching repair jobs take away from the little efforts management has done to have beautiful floors and perfect water pressure and temperature. This place needs a lot of work. It’s definitely not worth more than $49 a night in the condition it’s in.
