One of my worse experiences ever. Something's changed, and not for the better. I've stayed here for years when I've come to visit family and have enjoyed good visits in the past, but this experience was quite different. I arrived and was given a room on first floor. When I entered my room I discovered that the door lock did not work and the light inside the ceiling room above the door was burnt out. I told the desk clerk and he immediately gave me a new room down the hall. The next day after I work, I went to use the fitness room but found that their air conditioner was blowing air that was 90 F degrees and although I tried to use the treadmill, the heat was too much. I went back to my room to take a shower, but first found that the tub faucet was broken so it was difficult to control water temperature and the spiket was loose and detached from the wall. Additionally the caulk around the tub was buckled in areas. I finally got the water adjusted, took a shower, but because the faucet was broken, it was difficult to get the water turned off completely. But even worse, the tub wouldn't drain and had filled 2 feet with water. Afterwards, I went to the main desk and told the clerk of the issues both with the fitness room and my tub, and she said she'd send someone to fix both. I told her that I had to leave for the day and preferred not to have a repairman in my room while I was not present. She first said that there were not any other rooms available (they were totally booked), then changed her story said I could move upstairs to a handicapped room that was available. So she gave me the key to go check it out, and when I got up there, the shower was not ready (shower rod not installed and it looked like there was a dirty shower curtain left), so I came back to the main desk and said that I would just move all of my belongings out of my present room while I was gone during the day so the repairman could fix the tub. When I returned that evening, I found that the tub was drained but it was left dirty and there was hair present in/on the tub. Also, my room had not been services (all used/wet towels still on the floor, bed not made, garbage not emptied....and when I had left that day, the cleaning crew was right outside my door and I did NOT have a "do not disturb" sign on my door). I went to the clerk again. The clerk said there was no record of me reporting any issues with my room or the fitness room, so she came down to my room and verified that the tub and room were left dirty and uncleaned. (BTW: there was another person at the desk then also who was reporting a problem with a towel rack falling off the wall and a dirty room). To the clerk's credit (who said she had only been working there for 2 weeks), she personally then brought me new towels and cleaned my tub. However, that night and very early the next morning there were extremely loud noises coming from the ceiling (rooms above) which woke me up. The next day I went to use the fitness room again and the air conditioning had still not been fixed. I left for the day, and when I returned that night and was getting ready to go to bed, the noises from upstrairs started again. I couldn't easily concentrate on my work, nor TV, and I wanted to get to bed early that night, so I phoned the clerk and reported the noise problems. She said that there was a church group upstairs from me that had music and drums. I told her that I wanted to go to bed soon, but she just replied that it was still early so there wasn't anything she would do. I really find it unacceptable that I was just expected to tolerate this noise. The noise continued until 11:30 pm. The next morning I got up to go to breakfast and found the entire dining area occupied by a team and families of baseball players who felt it was ok to shout across the room at each other during my entire breakfast. Hotel staff never had the good sense to advise these individuals that it was a public space and to keep the noise down. Upon returning to my room, I check on the fitness center and found that the air conditioning had still not been fixed. I should mention that Basil, the hotel manager, has not attempted to contact me to discuss any of these issues during my stay. I am now here for one more night. It will be my last night ever at this hotel. Totally, the worst experience I have had at a hotel, and for the price, I expect much better. This hotel is run down, dirty, loud, and not worth the price. I intend to send this same letter to Comfort Inn/Choice Hotels Corporate. They need to be aware how their hotels are being managed. I'll go back to the Hampton Inn just down the street where I've stayed previously and always had a good experience, or maybe I'll try the new Fairfield Inn just in back of this hotel. read more
