When we entered the hotel and went upstairs to our room the hallways were covered in a white powder that had not been cleaned up by the housekeeping. My hubby has COPD and congestive heart failure and because of this powder, he could barely breathe by the time we got to the room. We almost called 911 because he could not breathe.The hotel had a definite bad odor that I believe they were trying to cover up. All they offered to do is move us from one room to another. But that floor also had the powder throughout the hallways and in the rooms. It was a horrible experience overall, and we will not be back again. Also the beds were hard as a rock. You pay 15 dollars to park your vehicle because the hotel has no parking available.

The hotel was in a great area, we enjoyed being walking distance from the dali museum and all the parks and dinners around but, at the hotel there is no parking it is basically $40 per day unless you wake up and move your car somewhere else before 5 am. Once you pay the daily fee by the time you wake up, if you take your car out you will pay the entire daily fee again. The elevator was broken and there was no help from staff getting the bags up 5 flights of stairs. Staff will tell you it will be fixed in an hour except the elevator has been broken since the previous hurricane and the temporarily out of order sign is a permanent fixture on those doors. There were roaches and dirty used cups on the floor and behind the bed. At least the A/c in our room was good but we found ourselves almost trapped in the room due to having to walk up 5 flights of stairs.

Pathetic customer support

We arrived to a broken elevator which can happen. What caused me to be disgusted about the hotel is when another guest and myself had to assist an elderly woman with mobility issues up the stairs and carry her bag while two hotel employees just sat at the desk offering NO help. I heard other guests in the lobby complaining that they weren’t notified of elevator being broken. Being a Saturday night during peak season trying to find a last minute room in other hotels at check in is time consuming and extremely expensive.

I mean if you need a place to just sleep then this place is better than the side of the street but I would recommend anywhere else. Spend the money. The hotel is extremely run down, the rooms are odd, half have the bathroom sinks next to the beds. The elevator was broken and had to carry our suitcases up to the 6th floor and no one was there to help. Literally all the guests were complaining and wishing us “luck”. My friends and I were in the common area for about 10 minutes, and we grabbed ice and dropped literally 2 that we picked up. We were greeting by an employee that said the owners were watching us on the cameras and that if he has to speak to us again he will be escorting us out. My friends and I work in hospitality and if we were roudy and being disrespectful that reaction is warranted but it was so wildly out of line. It was ice and we had picked them up but the way it was made to seem was that we were jumping on tables, and disrupting the entire hotel. Not that after carrying our bags up 6 flights of stairs and seeing the condition of the rooms we would ever choose to stay there again, but certainly not after the treatment by the staff.
