Really disappointing stay, especially for what we paid and what we expected from this hotel.
We booked a 10-day stay and had a nice room booked, but our flight was unexpectedly canceled and we had to arrive a day later. When we got there, we were told they canceled our (prepaid) reservation. We explained that our flight was canceled last minute, but they said if we didn't contact them by a certain time, they cancel the room and charge us for the first night. We had no idea this was their policy. We even called about it and were basically told there was nothing they could do. So basically, they have an undisclosed policy where you have to contact them by a certain time, but they don't tell you when. We had stayed previously at other hotels in the area and had our arrival delayed because of a canceled flight, and they never canceled our reservation. They also no longer had our original room, so we were given a downgraded room, with the receptionist saying, "We don't have that room anymore." The man at the front desk was not friendly at all and made us feel like we were bothering him.
The room itself was also disappointing. For what I expected to be a luxury hotel, it honestly felt more like a motel. Our room was a connecting room and we could constantly hear people next door stomping, yelling, and making noise.
Room service was another issue. I ordered a pizza and two waters after seeing on their website that the water was free. When the food arrived, the waters were $10 EACH. I called the front desk and talked to a man who sounded like the receptionist from check-in and was told someone would call me back, but nobody did. I called him back again and still didn't get a call back after being told that for a second time. Eventually, I called for the third time and a very nice woman helped me and got someone from the food department involved. They discounted the meal, but I never got an explanation for why the website said the water was free but I was charged for it.
Another night, I went to the restaurant myself to avoid the 20% room service surcharge. I ordered skirt steak tacos, but they gave me chicken tacos instead and told me that's what I ordered. I had to wait 40 minutes for one order of tacos, while the rest of the food I ordered got cold. They also forgot my sauce, so I had to wait even longer for that. When I finally got back to the room, one of the tacos literally had two pieces of steak in it. I'll attach a picture.
I also called the restaurant another time to ask a question, and the lady on the phone seemed like she was playing a game with me pretending she couldn't hear me. When I asked if she could hear me, she said yes in a very rude tone and was rude for the rest of the conversation. The hotel restaurant is very overpriced for mediocre food and poor service.
Even leaving the hotel was frustrating. We used one card to pay for the room and another card for the fees, as the receptionist told us we had to do. We were specifically told the second card would only be used for those charges. About a week after leaving, that card was charged another $500. When we called, they said it was for additional fees because that was the card they had on file. We explained what we had been told, but never really got a clear answer. They claimed they didn't have another card on file, even though the majority of the charges were paid for with the other card.
Overall, this was just a really disappointing experience from beginning to end. There were issues with the reservation, room, service, food, charges, and communication. For the price of this hotel, I expected a completely different experience. I would not stay here again and would honestly recommend spending your money somewhere else. read more
