I'm writing this review to warn other guests, particularly African American families, about the…read moretreatment we received at this hotel during our stay from Thursday, November 14th to Sunday, November 16th, 2025.
The Good:
The housekeeping staff was excellent. The assistant manager and the woman who checked us in on Thursday evening were professional, courteous, and immediately began working to resolve a significant billing error where my card was overcharged multiple times (prompting my bank's fraud department to call me). They assured me the issue would be fully resolved at checkout.
The Unacceptable:
On Friday night, a staff member (an older white woman) made racist comments about my brother-in-law, calling him "intimidating" and "scary" while he was simply having a normal conversation with his mother in the lobby. Her reasoning? She didn't like their "tone of voice," despite no argument or raised voices occurring.
On Sunday at checkout, while confirming the refund status, ANOTHER racist employee--who apparently has worked there for 10 years--became aggressive, yelled at me, and threatened me. She then locked herself in the office and called the police on me rather than calling the manager for assistance. A maintenance worker had to contact the manager instead to help deescalate her rage when I asked her to please call someone to get some help or explain to her what I was saying. Before locking herself in the office to call the police on me instead of her manager, she oddly mentioned her brother was a bank manager, as if that somehow meant she couldn't make mistakes or did not need help with this particular issue. She did not seem to understand the term "reconciliation" as it applies to billing.
When the manager finally called her, she stormed out of the office and violently shoved the phone in my face, which was genuinely frightening. The manager confirmed the billing error and processed the refund before I left. I told him that the police were currently in the parking lot and I can only assume that they came so quickly because she lied about what was really happening. I requested to speak with him again about the staff member's behavior, but have been unable to reach him since.
Bottom Line: THIS IS DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR AND HIGHLY DISTURBING.
I have never been treated so poorly in any hospitality setting, and I have never had the police called on me. The racist treatment we received from staff members on Friday and Sunday was traumatizing and completely unacceptable.
While some staff members were wonderful, I WILL NOT recommend this hotel due to the presence of employees who should not be working in customer service nor with the general public at all. To the excellent housekeeping staff and assistant manager: I'm sorry you work alongside people who bring such disgrace to your profession.
I strongly advise everyone, but especially African American families to avoid this establishment. I am working to reach out to their corporate office for further resolution as this cannot stand.
UPDATE: Clld twice, left messages with "Amanda", either she does not pass on the messages, or Mr. Patel is refusing to call me back. Leaving reviews on Yelp to add to my social media posts and I am going to reach out to corporate so that they are aware of how their franchise is operating. I will also continue to post until Mr Patel and I have resolved my concerns about the safety of all guests no matter who they are or what they look like.
