I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this nightmare place. Eighty percent of the staff were rude and confrontational if you had any issues. My first issue was a blood spray from IV drug use that had dried into my already filthy sheers on the window. Maintenance came and took them down and just never brought them back. I had pitch dark or blaring sun. The front desk screwed up my reservations. Staff told me I had to leave on a Saturday night, I made a reservation right after they told me. (Keep in mind that this is in the middle of a long stay. I'm remodeling a house I just bought and I need to be in town.) I was awakened the next morning by loud, rude front desk staff telling me that I had to leave on Friday. Packed my things and argued with staff, they stood and lied to my face and housekeeping laughed because I asked for the managers email. This place has no standards of quality in accommodations or the people they hire. I left the hotel for the night. My son still had reservations as did I so I went back the next day as it was already paid through a third party.
Checked back in, called down to the desk for an extra blanket, was told someone would bring one, they never came. The air conditioner had to be on consistently because the ventilation was so bad. I have a blood disorder associated with anemia so I was cold and needed that blanket. EVERY day I had to get my key renewed. The next day I was at the front desk and they told me they had a blanket for me, it was a bed spread. There was no bedspread on the bed when I got into the room just a comforter and the room was not clean. The bedspread is essentially a thick sheet, went to Meijer and bought my own blanket. Stayed in that room for three days. Asked to change rooms and was told I could do so, repacked all of my things and went to the front desk. I was told that they didn't have any clean rooms and that I would have to wait until the next day. Went to the front desk the following morning and was given a key to another room. Immediately upon entering the room the smell of dog and urine were so strong it made me gag. I called down to the front desk AGAIN and was told once again that they would leave a note for the morning staff, issue was never addressed and staff told me that there was no way there was a dog in the room. I have allergies to dogs so there was no doubt. I was congested, my eyes were affected and I had asthma symptoms. I am exhausted by this point, getting nowhere and just tried to make the best of it. The bathroom was disgusting, there was dried urine on the floor next to the toilet and something I couldn't even stomach trying to figure out.
The internet stopped working, the television worked sometimes but was often pixelated and impossible to watch.
I use a computer for work, email etc, they told me to go to a website to fix it, I tried several times and was directed to a page that sold internet.
I used my phone data to do anything internet related. I finally couldn't stand it any more and made a reservation at the BEST WESTERN ON water street. The night before I was checking out they offered to reconnect my internet. By this point I had already filed a complaint with the company and was just ready to leave. Lastly, instead of running my card once for the room charges they ran my card EIGHT consecutive times, triggered my fraud protection and deactivated my bank card.
I am a Platinum member with CHOICE HOTELS, I have spent A LOT of money and am usually completely satisfied. I have stayed at locations across the country for extended period of time and NEVER have I experienced such a disgusting environment. Grass and insects in the indoor hot tub, back and side doors left unlocked all night, people partying in the parking lots, breaking glass, terrible, stale breakfast offerings, just generally dirty and the absolute worst staff I have EVER encountered.
I have friends and family that work in all areas of the service industry so being nice is important to me but this place was beyond the limits of what anyone should pay for.
If the Choice brand is smart, they will drop this location, it's bad news. If you want to stay in a drug infested, filthy, bad smelling hotel with rude, inconsiderate staff this is the place. I would sleep in my car before I EVER stayed in this dump again. STAY AWAY. read more
