We had an incident that we were not pleased with service. My husband had a stroke and the results were aphasia which means he sometimes doesn't understand all language quickly. He went down for breakfast a few minutes before the kids and I, as he is physically capable. He told the staff he had had a stroke, his name, and room number. They gave him trouble and began laughing at him. At one point another person we did not know stopped eating and came over to help my husband because he saw the incident in question. My husband was very upset. In the 2 1/2 years since his stroke, this is the first time he has experienced this type of criticism and embarrassment. We checked out on the 6th because of this incident and a hurricane coming in. We went through travelocity. I contacted them and they approved us leaving early.

We are sorry to see you didn't enjoy your stay. Since your review is anonymous we are unable to verify you as a guest or a record of any issues. A rating this low should have some information for us to address. We hope that any issues you had were rectified.

The hotel was not staffed enough to accommodate all the guests. Housekeeping never made it to either of my room one time. I even called the desk and asked for housekeeping. The elevator broke while someone was on it. It took for time for them to get my keys right. Very debilitating trip and not worth the money.

We are sorry to see you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We strive to provide a stress-free and relaxing stay for all our guests and we apologize for not doing that for you. We do have limited housekeeping service for all our stay-over guests due to nationwide labor shortages. However, if you requested the service, we would have done our best to provide that for you. Unfortunately, I don't have any information about your stay to investigate further. We do hope that you will give us the opportunity on your next visit to exceed your expectations.

Not sure why there would be an assumption that a complimentary breakfast includes multiple servings. The daily menus have hot and cold items - plenty to eat and plated for your protection. In a restaurant, you receive one serving and you pay for it. If you would have advised us of an empty dispenser, we would been happy to have provided it, however, not sure why you couldn't go to your guest room and needed to use the lobby bathroom. Thanks for staying.
