When I went into my room there was feces on the toilet handle, toilet handle was broken, hair all over the floor and shower, toilet wasn’t flushed!! I call the front desk immediately and it took 3hrs before housekeeping came to clean; 24 hrs before maintenance came to fix the toilet handle. Also on the 6th floor soon as you step off the elevator there’s mouse hole right across. I would advise visitor to go somewhere “DON’T” go there!!

Parking fee and activity fee regardless

We have to pay for parking and activity fee although we don’t use anything and I never saw a security guard in parking lot. So unnecessary.

Overall Awesome

Our stay was fantastic, location was perfect, room was clean. Since it was our honeymoon, our room was upgraded and that was awesome! The view from the balcony was breathtaking! Our only complaint was that the mattress was too firm for us and not super comfortable. However that would not dissuade us from staying here again!

We called and spoke with hotel guest rep Debbie. She asked for ETA. Stated 3pm because we have a wedding to get ready for that starts at 5pm. She said no problem you can do pre-check in. We get there at 3pm and can't check in because computer system is down so hotel rep tells us we will call you around 4pm or so to notify you when you can check in. So we had to go to our daughter's hotel room down the road to get dressed and ready for the wedding. Went to wedding and reception then finally checked in at 9pm. Not happy that we had to go to another hotel to check in

Our brand new truck was broken into along with 3 others. No one contacted us to let us know. The police had been called but again we were not notified. The hotel next door I was told had vehicles broken into as well. We just woke up went to the truck and found the window tapped up.
