The beds are very hard. Loans in our room kept flickering. The room was not too clean. Bed blanket looked like it had blood on it. No fan in the bathroom. Sheets had hair on it. Bathroom counter had a white powered substance. Patio floor looked rusted and spider webs were everywhere. Pool was out of order and also the printer

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is in need of same care and attention. For example, our suite had a sleeper sofa with disgusting stains on the cushions, the balcony had no furniture ( though there were rust marks on the balcony where I assume furniture once sat), the pool and jacuzzi were closed. Staff, while polite, seemed to lack the authority to accommodate requests. For example, we requested moving to a lower floor due to someone on our party having a phobia of elevators. We were told that we paid for an upgraded room with a balcony and the lower floors didn’t offer that amenity. We told staff that we were quite happy to take the downgrade for the same fee. Staff insisted that because we booked through a third party, they couldn’t do that. What the could do is cancel our reservation with Expedia and charge us the maker rate for the downgrade which was $100 MORE than what we paid through Expedia!!! We ended up paying extra for the balcony but had no way to enjoy it since there was no furniture. Finally, we were supposed to have a king size bed and ended up with a queen. Total disappointment in spite of its good reviews.

After being told I couldn’t check in upon arrival due to computer malfunction (which I understand and am not complaining about) the staff member who finally checked me in answered his personal cell phone in the middle of the transaction. And apparently housekeeping comes by your room only once a day and if you have the do not disturb sign in the door (at 9:30 am) they never come back that day, ever. It’s 9:45 the next day and we are waiting for housekeeping. Nowhere to be seen.

I like the fact that's not too close to the busy part of the city. Didn't care for the school being next door. It would be nice to provide the school's hours, so we don't get stuck in traffic when trying to get in.
