Was very disappointed in the level of service and communication on property. In addition, the elevator was consistently down.

Room was clean and as expected BUT Was not able to check into the room until 7pm, paid to park 2 cars and only had one spot and wasn’t allowed to park in any other spot, security at the pool was very rude, never once used the elevator it would pass your floor and then be so crowded you couldn’t get on.

I was charged $50 for parking that I wasn’t told about. Charged $160 something that said refund due that I have never received. Parking was terrible. Elevators was so slow. Very unfriendly security. Will not be back.

I was asked to pay a cleaning fee, I understand the need for this. But imagine my surprise when I arrived to my unit # 404. I found the ceiling fans to be thick with dust. The lint trap in the dryer was full with about 2 1/2 inches of compacted lint. I have a picture of this I can share if needed. I am sure to the point of a fire hazard. There is a board on the floor in the hallway that is completely unsecured from the floor. This caused several almost falls during our stay. When we took a pan out of the cabinet it appeared to have the remains of some biscuits on it. This pan was on the top, and easily seen when the cabinet door was opened. There was a problem with the door that made it difficult to close. There were 2 pillows that no pillow cases could be found for. We did stop a lady with a housekeeping cart one day and ask for pillow cases. She kindly told us that she could not help us. In the lobby area the only persons that seemed to have a desire to help were the ladies in the gift shop. Any other staff member I spoke to on the lobby level seemed to be “ put out”, when I spoke to them. I only spoke to them the day I arrived, and the day I left. I did not confront them with any of the problems I have listed. My friends and I have stayed at this location for 2 years now. Last years stay was very pleasant. And this years stay will not keep me from returning next year. We love the location. And hope that this experience was not one we can expect in years to come.

WARNING! be extra careful when selecting this property...the pictures looks great but everything there is broken, old and have not been upgraded. Staff is not friendly and they don’t seem to have answer to what you asked. My room was horrible everything was broken and dirty. Even Motel 8 does a better job then these people! Elevator feels Like it about to fall apart. Parking... well good luck with that. The pool was the only A+ everything else a disappointment. My husband and I took pictures of all the broken items and the kitchen which was disgusting and went straight to property management and showed them our unit. She was a wonderful lady and was shocked of all the things that was broken and hazardous to consumers especially if you have children. She found us another unit at another building(Majestic) and we were able to check out the place first before she moved us there. It was much nicer n clean!

The condos communication with the guest was terrible. They were not accommodating at all. The security guards at the pool were ridiculous. Families couldn't even relax and enjoy their vacation due to Paul Blart mall cop scrutinizing their every move. And the wait for the elevators was absurd! Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes for one. This was the absolute worst condo I have ever stayed at and will never be back!
