None of the outlets in the hotel worked, the tv remote ended up breaking and I had to call someone to fix it. The key cards stopped working, and the rooms were dirty and smelled like cat pee.

Interesting.
Picked this hotel last minute to visit the InLaws. No fridge or microwave but in the pictures they have a fridge and microwave. Heat wouldn’t blow enough air. Hair dryer didn’t work and worst of have they had “scheduled” water maintenance that we weren’t notified during booking or check-in! We saw a note on the elevators. It was supposed to last 10-5 which is long if you ask me but it ended up going until 7:30pm! Whatever happened with the water effected the breakfast the next day.

Concerned
The threshold entering into the bash has frayed from ware. I stepped on what I assume is a staple. Lord only knows how many others have done the same thing. My foot is sore this morning. I'm hoping it doesn't get infected. The thought of multiple people stepping on the same sharp needle like object is concerning. On another note, I entered the room at check-in, and the thermostat was set to 65. It didn't take me long to figure out why. If I hadn't brought a fan with me, I would not have been able to sleep. I can't imagine what the room temp would be if my visit was during warmer months. I don't like complaining but I feel like the rug issue should have been fixed when it's obvious ware. We are living in an era where we just went through a worldwide pandemic and getting stuck with a sharp object is unsettling. Hope you understand my concern. I just hope it gets fixed before someone else gets stuck.

Terrible Stay
This stay was terrible from the start.After an 11 hour drive we were given a room with a non working air conditioner.They sent an engineer and he could not fix the issue.So I was first told nothing could be done about it.Then I was offered to stay in that room and “possibly” be moved the following day.Then I was offered a box fan.Finally after two hours we were moved to another room.This room was not the same type of room I paid for.The layout was different.There was little to no television service.Two of the lamps didn’t work.Mold in the bathroom.No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The housekeeping was all but nonexistent.We stayed for 6 nights.Our room was never cleaned.Bed never made,trash never taken out and had to ask for bath towels on more than one occasion. Not one time were we offered any kind of compensation for the downgrade of room or the troubles.It was the absolute worst experience I have ever had in a hotel.
