Lots broken, not kid friendly

The smoke detector started chirping around 9:30pm after my toddler was asleep. The front desk attendant came and watched my husband remove it and then took it away. This is a safety hazard and illegal. But also, they are ten year smoke detectors! Put them on a schedule and switch out before they chirp at guests at night! Additionally, the AC didn’t work in one of our rooms and the toilet ran all night. The floodlights to light the parking lot made it seem like day in the room all hours. The breakfast was maybe the worst I’ve ever been offered at a hotel and questionable on the safety and freshness of those items (the waffle maker left black specks all over my kids waffle, the gravy for biscuits and gravy looked days old). We used the pool but the paint is peeling all over it the floor of it so I was glad my toddlers couldn’t touch the bottom. The water was clean though and we still enjoyed it. The (regular?) clientele seemed to linger in hallways most hours or yell obscenities in their rooms at each other. The area seemed unsafe. Not kid friendly: liquor store attached to hotel, casino machine in lobby, folks lingering in hallways.

We booked a standard king room upon arrival the room stunk like mold so decided to “upgrade” at our own expense to one of the suites and landed in cupids nightmare. Literally nothing worked properly in the room including whirlpool, lighting, and shower. It was so cheesy 90’s vibe Which added to the fun I just wish something in that room worked.

The room was good but we could only take a shower instead of bath. Obviously they need to get something for their tub drains. The person on duty said they had nothing to use. Also our bathroom toilet rocked when you sat on it.
