Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The bed was so hard I had to sleep on the couch. The bathroom had pink mold in some of the edges of the shower. The key failed to work. Rather than investigating, the front desk rekeyed the original card and said they are sensitive. I told him I kept in my pocket with nothing else. I went back to the room in the pouring rain and the key still did not work. We went back to the front desk and they did nothing with the keys. He said he would send maintenance. Before maintenance arrived, the keys suddenly started working. It seems to me the problem was the system had is us checked out. I’m not sure how else the key magically worked 10 minutes later. I travel a lot. I am very tired of hearing that the keys are sensitive. This is not my problem. Proprietors need to ensure the equipment works. Even if the key is put in one’s wallet, which was not the case for me. Moreover, staff should make an effort to investigate the problem further than blaming guests for user error. I had to walk back and forth twice outside of the building in the pouring rain. I was tired and carrying heavy bags. This was a very disappointing stay.

Jonas, the front staff member is AMAZING! He is a shinning example of a fabulous worker and should be encouraged to pursue hospitality. If this company is smart, they will groom him for promotion and encourage ongoing training. You have a winner with this one. Don’t overlook him.
