"Family Trip Ruined by Hidden Fees and Unsafe Conditions"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed April 01, 2026 NEW
This hotel deserves to be called out for both its unsafe room conditions and how it handled billing issues. I booked through Working Advantage, and my specific room type did not show resort or parking fees when I made the reservation. When I arrived, the hotel still charged me those fees. Working Advantage later acknowledged that some room types listed those charges while mine did not, and even after they tried to get a refund on my behalf, the hotel refused. The room itself was in terrible condition. The shower leaked, the phones did not work, the internet would not connect, and the damaged flooring between the bathroom and main room had nails sticking up through the carpet that I stepped on multiple times. That is dangerous and should never be acceptable in a guest room. Towels were not replaced, and I had to track down a janitor myself just to get clean ones. I reported the problems and was told they would be handled in the morning, only to later be told by a supervisor that the employee who said that had quit and never documented anything, so no action was taken. This hotel failed on basic cleanliness, maintenance, safety, customer service, and billing transparency. Even when the booking company tried to resolve the issue, the hotel still refused to refund the undisclosed fees. Terrible experience and absolutely not recommended.

Rooms are dirty. The whole hotel is infested with mold. Check in was extremely slow then we decided NOPE when we saw the state of the room and smelled the mold. Then, after returning to the front desk and trying to get a refund, Chris said that we could not. After some pushback he said he would only refund us for every night except tonight. This is unbelievable and unacceptable because we were only in the room for 1 minute. So disappointed in the quality and service of this hotel. DO NOT STAY.

"Hotel Review/Complaint"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed March 11, 2026 NEW
Upon arrival, the attendant was outside the property handling another situation. When the front desk clerk arrived, he appeared unaware of the role and responsibilities required of the position. It was later explained that it was his first day and he was not receiving any proper training. During my stay, I was charged for both parking and breakfast, services that I did not use. While the room itself was decent, there were no bath towels available when I arrived, making it difficult to freshen up before bedtime. The following day, I was also charged a fee for a package that had been held for less than 30 minutes, which felt unnecessary. It appears that management may need to reassess internal training procedures. In particular, Chris Richardson, the manager, could benefit from additional hospitality and tourism management training. Staff cannot adequately perform their roles if they are not properly guided or trained. The hospitality industry is built on customer service and guest experience, and unfortunately this stay did not reflect those standards.
