I'm conflicted on this review because I initially had a great impression of this hotel. The front desk clerk was friendly when I checked in, and the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was typical/decent. The hotel employee who was checking things at the breakfast each morning I was there was friendly and professional. My problem arose two days after checking in when housekeeping "cleaned" my room. I do not wish to have my room serviced in hotels so I always indicate this as well as place the "Do Not Disturb" sign on my door. However, the room did not have a sign for the door so I assumed the hotel (since it's relatively new) must have opted for eco-friendliness and utilized the app only (which is where I indicated no housekeeping since that was an option). I also quickly looked around on the first floor and didn't see anyone else with DND signs on their door that morning so I left and went to my all-day meeting. Upon return to the hotel, I noticed my bed had been made which was a bit irritating given I specifically chose the "no housekeeping" option in the app. Upon further inspection, I noticed the trash cans hadn't been emptied, and the dirty towels were not taken, but they were replaced with new towels. I thought this was odd, but shrugged it off. Then, I noticed a plastic bag of items was missing (but the Oreo cookies that were in the bag were sitting on the counter). Weird. Had the cookies not been still there AND the trash been emptied, I would have assumed the bag was accidentally thrown away even though it was sitting on the counter. In the grand scheme of things, this wasn't a big deal because all that was in the bag was a toothbrush, toothpaste, and panty liners that I purchased upon arrival in Prattville. I immediately went to the front desk and explained what happened, and while the gentleman gave me two toothbrushes and three toothpaste packets as well as 3 pads (which aren't the same as panty liners so were useless to me really) there was no apology provided. He told me they can't see what's in the app so I was then puzzled because why would I have an option to select "no housekeeping" if the hotel can't see what I select? Also, why is there not a DND sign in the room?! This whole exchange was bizarre to me! He was a bit nonchalant about the whole thing which made me wonder if this wasn't the first time it'd occurred. Additionally, another employee wondered if my room was cleaned by the "new girl who'd only been there about 2 days", but the gentleman shook his head no. Again, he was a bit too relaxed about basically theft of a guest's belongings. It was a few dollars worth of items, BUT what if the items were more expensive? Theft is theft, and I wouldn't want my employees taking items from guests' rooms. As I mentioned, I thought the hotel facilities were nice, and I was thinking I'd stay in this same hotel when I return for my next business trip in the area, but sadly, I will look elsewhere because of (1) the theft, (2) the lack of apology for the theft, (3) the ability to select "no housekeeping" in the app that's not translated to the hotel, (4) the "interesting" way the room was "cleaned", and (5) the lack of the DND sign in the room. Had (1) not occurred, (2)-(5) would not have even been large enough concerns to report to the hotel. Sadly, (1) did occur, and the response was unacceptable. I like to remind people that first impressions are sometimes the only impression, and while I am an extremely understanding individual, the next person may not be as "nice" as I was about theft of one's items. read more
