Upon arrival and said that we had a reservation due to a birthday party and wanted early check in we were told that there was a room available and we need to pay $223. We said that we already paid via Expedia. He checked again and said yes he see that we paid already. He said that we need to pay $40 parking which is too much, when we asked if there is a discount for the birthday party he then asked his coworker and told that parking is waived.. I think that he needs more training and should know what is waived ahead of time before customers started checking in. E.g. Are you here for an event? If yes, he should know about the parking situation.. supervisor should give the staff notice of the days event and what to expect. Thanks

The bathroom had a mold issue on the wall near the floor (bubbling paint areas and visible black areas). The tub also did not drain well while showering. The room vents were very dusty. I told the staff and I was upgraded to a nicer room, however, the next room while nice was musty (smelled like a smoker had used prior). Two lounge chairs by pool were broken and not able to adjust. One of the doors to access the pool with the pass did not work. I had paid extra for a late check out but then my card didn't work and I had to let them know. Overall, it seems this hotel needs significant upgrading and maintenance. I would not stay again or recommend.

When we checked in we didn’t get double bed as we requested and paid for . Fire pit outside the lobby didn’t work . The bathroom toilet in our room was not flushing . Overall I wouldn’t stay again in this place . A lot of customers that stayed there had the same issues . Also they charge extra fees that you are not aware of once you get to the hotel to check in . Not for my standard as a hotel . I thought it was be better for the price we made .

Great hotel. The front ealk could use some attention though. The parking garage was a mess. The elevator doesnt go to the third parking floor, sand bags ripped open in the stair well, lights on the top deck don't work or weren't turned on creating an unsafe situation, cobwebs and dirt everywhere. Looks like the garage doubles as a junkyard for old hotel equipment and the rear entrance has trash all over the landscaping. It could use some serious attention and cleanup work for sure.
