Thank you for accommodating my family by giving us rooms with an adjoining door. Our room was very damp and had an odd odour. The air conditioner was very noisy. Our second day we asked to have our room cleaned as we left the hotel after the cleaning staff was finished. The woman at the front desk wrote our room number down and we also explained about the air conditioner and the smell. She said she would send the maintenance guy to check it out. We returned to our room after midnight and found that nothing had been touched. We went to the front desk and explained to the gentleman that was on duty. There was nothing he could do at that point to have the room cleaned. He brought us clean towels. We explained to him about the dampness and that the sheets felt wet. He also noticed the smell from the air conditioner. He came back with bedding and a spray to help get rid of the smell. He was very kind and understanding. I’m hoping that when we are booking these hotels through Expedia that we are not given the worst room in the hotel because we didn’t book direct. This trip we booked 4 different hotels through Expedia let’s just say they weren’t the best I’ve ever stayed in. The staff in the hotel were very friendly, the ladies in the breakfast area work very hard and are very helpful.

Walking into this hotel, it initially seemed very nice and clean. However, when we got to our first room, it had a very strong odor of dog urine that was overwhelming. We went back to the front desk, and they kindly moved us to a different room. While the second room was an improvement, it still wasn’t great—there were visible stains on the sheets, towels, and furniture, which made the stay feel less comfortable than expected.

Worst hotel experience I’ve had . The rooms were dirty and smelly. I had to switch rooms cause there was stains on the sheets. I got a new room that was worse . It had a bug smashed to the wall , we paid for two nights an only slept there one. The pool is dangerous , There is an electric junction box wide open with wires exposed , one foot from the pools water so they just put an orange cone on top of it . One splash away from death

Breakfast issues

It was a good stay. I truly enjoyed it. Breakfast was included. The only thing I did not like was that you could not take the breakfast out of the serving area. You had to eat it there like a toddler. I was shocked about that. I wanted to go downstairs, grab food and take it back to my room but it was not allowed

Stay was just ok. Can't say I would stay again.

We had a problem with the toilet in the bathroom. We called Sat morning at 830 to let the front desk know. The toilet would take at least 30 mins to fill back up once you flushed it. They stated somone would be up in 20 mins; an hour later still hadn't seen anyone. We called again and they claimed they had told maintenance about the issue. By this time it's 930, breakfast ends at 1000, and we hadn't been able to start our day waiting on maintenance, so we left and went and ate. We came back and they had obvioulsy been there to look at it becuase there was a wrench on the sink counter. We left, enjoyed our day and came back that evening Guess what; still not fixed. Doing the same thing. So we gave up on that. Also for it to be a non-smoking hotel, the wrench of burnt marijuana would about knock you out everytime we left our rooms and went into the hallway. It got so bad that it started permeating our room, and we had to spray air freshener to try and mask the smell.
