Poor Service

I stay there twice a Month for the past 12 Months. Everything has always been great until this time. The front desk representative acted like it was her first day on the job, usually the person is helpful and works with me. This time I felt like I was bothering her by asking for two keys or asking to be placed in the the newly remodeled tower. This is not how you treat a returning customer.

Poor service checking in

I have stayed in this hotel about 30 times in the last six month and my experiences have been amazing until this last stay. The person who checked me in must have been new. She seemed to not know what was going on. I asked to stay in the newly remodeled tower and she said the only way she could do it was to charge me an upgrade fee of $30. I was placed in the newly remodeled tower last week and there was no upgrade fee. I asked for two keys which has never been a problem before however I was only given one key this time. I’m not at all happy with this person or the service I was provided.

Miserable stay

It was the worst weekend get away of my life. No hot water, no water pressure, room service never cleaned the room, and security was on our floor several times each night pounding on the doors of partying college students rooms. It was a miserable stay.

The overall property looks like its under perpetual renovation but the worst part was the unsightly pool area and the service from the steakhouse staff! I was ignored while in the patio area in 40* weather with just area heaters for an unacceptable amount of time and the manager was impatient and irrated with me. To top it off the food was subpar!!

This trip was very unpleasant. We were booked on a floor with multiple fraternities. Every single night they were being BEYOND noisy. Girls screaming up and down the hall yelling curse words, loud music, slamming doors and having a full on party. The first night the staff were super understanding, The next night the man at the desk was being very dismissive and kept saying “someone already called we’re sending someone up” although even after they sent someone up, nobody stopped being loud. It was beyond anything I’ve dealt with. I have videos of me being in the ROOM and it being so noisy you think they were all in the room with us. We counted about 40 people all coming in or out of that one room. The entire floor also smelled so strongly of marijuana, you’d think it was a dispensary.

Hotel responsibility to moniter guests behavior.

The constructiion can be overlooked because an update is obviously needed,however: the lack of any sensitivity to all of your guests needs was in my mind appaling. The fact that you allowed the colledge kids from Chico State to basically take over your hotel and run the halls much of the night stomping and shouting and clearly fuled by alcohol was beyond anything I have ever seen. We witnessed many cases of beer and alcohol being carried in and was, I'm sure being consumed by many who were probably not even old enough to drink, let alone responsibly. I would niether reccommend nor choose to stay at your hotel again.

Easy check in, easy to find parking. Just wanted an easy weekend and we don’t like to be bothered with a bunch of offers at the check in, which didn’t happen so we were relieved.
