Disaster from day one

Paid for a king room with a view and when I asked to be moved on a Wednesday when the hotel was nearly vacant, was told there wasn’t one available. Front desk attendant had an attitude. Ended up with two queen beds. There was no shampoo, bed sheets had blood, towels were raggedy and stained with lipstick. Had to ask to have our room cleaned three days after complaining. Could be a great hotel if managed properly.

We ended up leaving a day early for two events: first, the next door occupants were up until late into the early morning; second, the air conditioning went out around midnight. When we went down to the desk to explain, they were basically like "just check out". We were never offered another room or anything.

This hotel surpasses a lot of hotels. We had a queen suite. The perfect setup- comfortable beds. The breakfast was AMAZING. Order omelettes to your personal specifications. Friendly staff. Super clean comfortable beds. On an amazing boardwalk of river. Amazing dining area. Two things that were somewhat of a concern however I will mention them briefly as I don’t want to take away that this is a must stay. 1. Housekeeping mishap. I want to return to my room with beds changed and be able to tell someone has cleaned the room. Manager handled situation with grace and understanding 2. Had beautiful breakfast this morning. A homeless person had somehow gotten up onto the dining floor. A woman confronted him in front of everyone and told him the breakfast was for guests only( I understand the policy) I just felt this could have been handled better. She kind of humiliated him in front of everyone. I almost said he was with me lol but didn’t think quick enough. Again while I understand the policy I think management could have dealt with this as he exited the lobby. Shrug But overall 5 plus stars
