Unsatisfied customer

When we first arrived, we were checked in early but placed in a room that smelled strongly of mildew. I am currently going through chemotherapy, so staying in that environment for three days was not possible. I went back to the front desk and was moved to another room, but it was still not clean—there was hair all over the bathroom floor and shower, and I had to ask housekeeping to vacuum after we had already unpacked.The beds were extremely uncomfortable. My 12-year-old could feel springs in his back, the mattresses creaked with every movement, and the sheets felt rough and plastic-like. The pool and spa area were also disappointing—the pool was dirty, and the spa jets were broken and not working. On top of all this, every single day I was given a parking ticket despite my parking being prepaid through my reservation. Each day I had to go to the front desk to have it corrected, and at checkout I was still charged an extra $54 for parking. Instead of fixing the charge, the staff simply told me “I’m sorry” and dismissed my concerns.Overall, this was one of the most stressful and uncomfortable hotel stays I’ve ever had. Cleanliness, maintenance, and customer service were all lacking, and I cannot recommend this property.

It was beautiful, but rooms on first floor smelled really moldy. Otherwise clean. Yes, I asked for some type of Febreze or something and they never did it. Very shortstaffed in the restaurants, but they handled it well when people were upset. I would stay again because of location and cost. But I will beg for another floor
