We were provided a key to room, went to open room and someone was already in the room. The people there had a dog and the dog attacked my elderly grandmother. The owner of the pet was upset at us because we were able to access their room, but it was not our fault. The owner of the pet thought we were trying to get their pet put down, was yelling at us and staff. All we wanted to as our room. Staff had to accompany myself and my grandma to another room to make sure it wasn’t occupied. Staff was apologetic, and tried to make sure things went smooth, but the process itself was super inconvenient and dangerous. You never know how people are going to react if you are able to access occupied rooms due to faulty systems.

The location was great for me. The staff was nice. The pool was clean, had to ask for pool towels, but that's Okay. The hallway carpet was old and dirty looking. Wish they had a little more breakfast foods.

The entire place just smells like someone’s basement. It’s unbearable. The hallways smell like mold the rooms are especially worse, to the point it took my breath away. My sister woke up all 3 nights with sore throat and stuffy nose from what we are pretty sure was mold in the stale air. The carpet felt moist from all the humidity in the room, everything was damp to the touch. It was BAD!! We also saw a roach crawling around but didn’t see anymore after we killed the one.

We have had the same issue all three weekends we stayed. Our refrigerator did not work in the first 2 rooms, our a/c leaked evwrywhere and soaked our items that were on the floor nearby and even though they were notified the day we checked in, they did nothing to fix it or even move us until the day we checked out, and it says you must request housekeeping services otherwise they do not come in your room, but the one time they came in our room we never asked but all other times we asked for housekeeping they never came. Also there were several homeless people sleeping on a discarded mattress in the parking lot behind the dumpster and upon notifying the front desk, they just said oh ok and nothing was done as they were still there at the end of the weekend.

we stayed here after a concert so we checked in late at night. tge check in was good. customer service at that time was good. when we got to our room it looked clean and well kept. however the moldy musty smell was over powering. we tried to just deal with it because it was so late but it was unbearable. went back to the desk to speak with them about it and the gentleman was quite rude about it. asked why we waited so long to say anything. i stated ut had only been 30 min since we checked in. he came to the room walked in and asked what the problem was....apparently he was nose blind. we did get another room but with more hassel than necessary.
