I haven't experienced a stay at a hotel this awful in forever.
When we arrived, the interaction with the man at the counter was awkward. He asked "do you like our hotels?" which felt very strange. He didn't thank us for our loyalty in being a platinum member. I chalked this up to him being new or just awkward. There were people setting up for a large party in the lobby with balloons, crock pots, and aluminum trays full of food. I don't think they were staying in the hotel. My first impression wasn't great, but I still wanted to give the hotel a chance.
The layout of the room is awkward. The nightstands are tiny and with the large desk phone, nothing fits on one side of the bed. The drawer is also tiny and filled with a Bible and Book of Mormon so there is no place to put my stuff. There are only two drawers for clothes, six hangers in the closet. The air conditioner wall unit is in the corner under the refrigerator and microwave. It points at the side of the desk so the air just stays in a tiny area. The TV is on a wall parallel with the bed so it's almost impossible to watch from the bed or any other angle. The bathroom has no storage. The water pressure is so low it's almost a trickle.
When we arrived, the thermostat was set to heat to 77 degrees. It was 84 degrees outside and humid. The room didn't cool down to 67 degrees until 5am in the morning. The next day I called and talked to a lady at the front desk. I asked if we could change the thermostat and she said no. I asked if they had a fan we could use because it was really warm. She said "no, sorry" and then hung up on me.
After staying three nights, no one cleaned our room or changed our towels. On the morning of the fourth day, we asked at the front desk if they could clean the room and the gentleman working at the front desk seemed surprised we wanted it cleaned. He said he would put us down for a cleaning. I didn't know we had to ask for cleanings at hotels now. It's not like they're worried about COVID when no one working here is wearing a mask. When we returned in the evening, the room was still not cleaned. I went to the front desk and another gentleman working said we are scheduled for a cleaning every day. He said he would put a note in to make sure it was cleaned.
I don't intend to stay here in the future, and I recommend any travelers to Jackson don't stay at this hotel. They care more about saving money than their guests. Every aspect about this hotel is a cheap as possible. Do not stay here. read more
