Roach infested.

The room was full of roaches when I complained I was just told sorry about it I had to request to move rooms. The new room the tv didn’t work when I called the front desk they told me I was doing it wrong since somebody up they did the exact same thing I did still didn’t work so they got someone else to come in there who then thought it was my fault the TV didn’t work and then when they couldn’t get it to work, they got me to use YouTube to try to watch TV but then I couldn’t watch any movies unless I bought them and then the bathtub didn’t work so we had to only take showers. And the AC went out in the middle of the night and when I told them about it yet again I was told sorry wasn’t offered any compensation of any sort or a discount. Honestly, after all the troubles, I’m not even sure I should’ve even paid for a room. I would never stay at this place again nor would I recommend it to anyone. I don’t think the elevator has inspection due to the missing buttons and wires that are exposed. The unsafe pipes that are sticking out of the building. The handicap rail is held on loosely to the point I almost fell over when I tried to use it to walk up the ramp. the remodel is not finished, Just sloppy all around.

The only things I wish were better was that the tv didn’t have but like 10 channels and you couldn’t stream anything, the pool had no warmer so it was freezing, and the ice machine wasn’t working on the only floor available. Other than that the staff was friendly and the room was clean. Not sure if it’s enough to make us want to come back however. Thank you for the positives.
