The hot tub was out of order and did not tell us on the website when we booked it. When we confronted the reception, he tried to play it off like he didn’t know it was out of order when there were 3 signs once you entered the pool area. The room (that we were put in, not all of them) was on a hill so everything was slanted inside the room which made us feel dizzy and was a tripping hazard. Kids were running around at 5am in the room above. It sounded like they were coming through the ceiling it was so loud. The continental breakfast had stale cereal, no juice left in the dispenser, no hot water, and no pancakes in the machine (this was at 7am so only half an hour after breakfast started). None of this was posted online and if this had been posted we would not have booked the room.

The room, property and staff were good. We were not made aware by hotel staff or elsewhere that the parking lot floods at high tide. We only happened to see a sign posted at the back of the property with a warning. The entire back lot and portion of the side lot flooded each night at high tide. We saw trash and other debris floating almost to the entry. It was unsafe. In addition to the flooding, it was a nightmare trying to get out of the parking lot due to the traffic without a signal or stop sign. We generally enjoy this hotel chain because of its staff and amenities but we would not frequent this location again.

While the rooms are renovated, the building itself is really old, and I had to change rooms because of creaking ceiling above me. I would not come back. Additionally, I had an issue with my work bookings where I had two reservations for my entire five nights stay. I communicated almost every day and still had someone call me during the workday to ask me why I hadn’t checked out of my room. Finally, every time I tried to call the front desk, it was just dial tones on the phone. I had to call from my cell phone three different times.
