We stayed the night and as we get into our room there were boot prints on the floor, bobbie pins on the floor, wrapping paper under the bed, dirty towels under the bathroom vanity. Then the next morning we get up to shower and leave and there was no water. Called the front desk, the lady was super nice, but had no answers or solutions to the no water issue. I understand things happen but then coming out of the room thr maid staff were knocking on doors to clean the room, WHAT!!! Theres no water how are they cleaning. Still no reimbursement or anything offered for the inconvenience. Upper management should have been there to help their staff and to help answer questions of the guests as well as the workers. But again nothing. Definitely not worth the $159 for one night and the 6.5 hour drive home with no shower after a funeral.

I had got a Jacuzzi room. Everything was great except two items first one the stains on the carpet not very desirable to look at and the plumbing whenever you drain a sink flush the toilet drain the tub gurgles in the bathroom sink, which indicates improper venting very annoying.

The toilet was for someone 4 ft tall. Check in awful. Arrived 3:15 and was told no rooms released and check in at 4. Ten minutes later saw a couple successfully check in. When I asked about it I was told the other party was a certain level member. No one asked if I wanted to pursue that level, nor did I find being lied to about no rooms available a proper treatment.
