Only down side was, and this is probably not the hotels fault, but due to social distancing - certain rules were set in place. For example, only two people or families were allowed in the elevator at one time. With that said, other guests in this hotel took it upon themselves to skip the line. This happened to me almost everytime I was waiting for an elevator. People just got in the front of the line and jumped in as soon as an elevator arrived. Making the rest of the line wait extra. This happened to me almost EVERY SINGLE TIME. There should be someone in the lobby making sure people wait in the line and adhere to these social distancing rules. Whats the point of putting up a sign if the hotel staff does not care if anyone follows the rules or not.
Second - I know this is not the hotel staffs fault but the walls here are super thin. The guests in the next room to me were yelling, screaming, and making so much noise till 4am. At 4am I could hear them talking loudly, watching tv, and even I knew they were eating because I could hear utensils clinging loudly (when I thought room service was not even available). Unless it was something else, but it sure sounded like they were eating. I dont understand why they were screaming though because I'm sure they were right next to eachother as the rooms are not that big. Unless there was a master suite right next to my room, and there was so much space in between the guests that they had to scream and yell. Which I highly doubt. Luckily my 7 year old and my 5 year old were so tired from walking aroud all day that they slept through the noise. Or we might of had to make a complaint...
But other than those two points, I'd definitly recommend. Maybe you wont have such bad luck as I did during my stay.
Let's start with cleanliness. One member of our group found a used condom in the wardrobe in his room. Do you really even need to read further? OK, here we go. One of our original non-smoking rooms reeked of smoke. Thick layers of dust were on the nightstand. Multiple stains on curtains, sheets and walls. Bathrooms clearly had not been cleaned and thick wads of hair were found in towels and in bathtubs.
They are running some sort of scam with housekeeping in which they require you to call THE DAY BEFORE (including the day of your check-in, no matter how late you check in) to be "put on the list" for the next day's housekeeping service. Otherwise, you do not receive any service/towels. However, even if you do ask to be put on the list, odds of receiving service are very slim. We stayed for four nights and requested service every day. It never happened. The only time our room was serviced was when we saw the housekeeper in the hall and requested it directly from her. Even then, her reply was, "It will only take me five minutes," and that is exactly how long she spent in the room "cleaning," which seems to explain some of the other issues.
Front desk personnel varied between dismissive and rude. We were told multiple times that we had never requested to be on the housekeeping list, even after visiting the front desk in person and watching the employee write down our room number on the "list."
If form holds, the GM will be on here shortly and act like they care. This is strictly for the sake of appearance. We gave multiple employees multiple chances to rectify the situation and none ever responded in an adequate fashion. This was an experience shared by multiple people in multiple rooms across our group.
Don't do it to yourself. Avoid this hotel at all costs.
It took 3 calls to the desk to get a blanket. The toilet paper holder was coming off the wall. The towel holder next to the tub had been replaced twice (holes from previous holders not filled in) and instead a rusty window blind hook had been installed. Gouges and marks in the paint, along with dirty windows also point to deferred maintenance. Thick dust coated the blinds. At that point, I realized complaining would only result in having to pack up and move again, with no increase in room quality.
Lighting in the bathroom is bizarre. One switch operates both lights which makes the whole room as bright an operating theater.
Lunch in the restaurant was horrible, mediocre food accompanied by a lack of service from the waiter.
