My stay started out horrible! I would like to acknowledge that the employee Tatiana at the front desk was amazing!! She did everything in her power to assist me with my stay!! My rooms were not clean like they should have been but we had to make the best of it. Tatiana once again did everything she could to rectify the problems. She’s definitely an asset to this company!!! Kennedy however is a POOR EXCUSE FOR an employee!! Rude,disrespectful and just not helpful at all! She should BOT be in customer service!!

Need work

Went there and everything was under maintenance. The elevator in the parking garage were out due to them fixing up the third floor at the time. Meaning u have to take the stair to the first floor of the parking garage if you not lucky to park on the first floor. The stairs were wet and smelling due to it raining. The lobby was nice and clean and the elevator inside the building was kinda creepy to used. It feel like it wil break in any giving moment. The room was nice but there were some places where they miss cleaning up and there was a hole in the shower roof right where the shower head is and the shower floor was dirty. The fridge was super smelly like they didn’t bother to clean out the fridge for a month. The room look nice thou but they really need to fire the cleaning staff in the 17th floor or make sure they working.

First, when we arrived, our keys did not work. That's not a huge deal, except we had to travel down twice to rekey and then call them. They finally had to call a maintenance man to replace the box, which put us behind schedule for our evening reservation. The shower never got hot and would not fully drain. There were only two working elevators for the entire 18 floors. It was very disappointing.

Terrible! The elevators in the packed parking garage were not working. We had to lug our luggage using the stairs. The parking garage also smelled like piss. The following morning it was all wet as if it poured rain in the covered parking garage. Our room was freezing & the heater wasn’t working. When we tried to turn the heat on, the room got colder. The original front desk person (Kirstin? Young Asian woman) was nice. My husband called & she said they would send maintenance. Nope. No one showed up. He kept calling the desk & no one was answering. He decided to go down stairs and check. I then got a phone call to the room. I answered was was rudely told “come get your new keys” I asked for what & the rude lady said that we had asked to change rooms. We DID NOT. We only told them the heat wasn’t working. I told her that we didn’t & the previous front desk person told us maintenance was on the way but no one showed. The lady then rudely said “well maintenance ain’t here no more. They gone for the day so come get your keys.” I told her my husband was on the way. He then went to pick them up & the lady just handed them & didn’t say a word. She didn’t even confirm his name or anything. He had to ask what room it was as she didn’t even tell him. So here we are at midnight moving to another room. Did I also mention that it takes FOREVER to get anywhere in the hotel? Only 2 elevators were working! It smells like smoke everywhere too!!!
