Despite the positive reviews, my stay was deeply disappointing and, frankly, discriminatory…read more
When I arrived, I waited at the front desk for several minutes, assuming the staff were assisting another guest. After hearing laughter coming from the back office, I rang the bell. A woman came out, apologized, and mentioned she had been watching Facebook reels. I decided to overlook it and proceeded with check-in.
Once in my room, I removed my shoes and immediately noticed the floor was dirty--there were dead bugs and a wad of hair. After a long day of travel, I was in pain and too exhausted to request a room change, so I cleaned it myself and tried to rest. Unfortunately, that was impossible due to constant footsteps and doors opening and closing throughout the night.
The next morning, at 11:08 a.m., I was abruptly woken by aggressive knocking. The front desk associate, named Deb, informed me that I was past checkout and needed to leave immediately. I apologized, explained that I'd slept poorly, and began packing right away.
I went downstairs to check out. At that time, Deb informed me she had noticed a dog wasn't charged for my stay and had gone ahead and added a $20 dog fee to my card. I asked multiple times whether the property charges for service dogs, and each time I was told yes. When I clarified that my dog is a working service animal, the staff member demanded to see "proof of disability"--which is illegal under the ADA. When I calmly pointed this out, she grew frustrated and said, "If I don't charge you for the dog, I'll charge you a $40 late checkout fee."
I tried to explain my concerns and showed timestamped photos of the dirty room. Rather than addressing the issue, she accused me of lying and claimed the photos weren't from their property. Despite clear evidence, she refused to acknowledge the truth and continued to call me a liar.
This was one of the most unprofessional and disrespectful experiences I've ever encountered. No guest--especially one with a disability--should be treated this way. Guests deserve to know that this property fails to meet basic standards of cleanliness, honesty, and lawful, respectful treatment of travelers with disabilities.
