Great Staff & Location - POOR Infrastructure
First, the location and staff were fantastic. Everyone who worked at the hotel was SO nice and tried their best. The hotel conditions were poor. We were promised "Plaza View" which looked out over a road and some dumpsters. The pool and pool deck were filthy, there were no towels. The phones never worked, not for room service, valet, etc. We asked for clean towels for hours. We had to dry off with a bath mat and hand towels. The bathroom smelled like sewage the entire time. There was simply not enough staff at this property. The line at the front desk was always long, and the phones were left ringing. I felt so bad for the hotel staff to have to work in such conditions with no support. For the cost of this hotel, I would never stay again.

Hotel needs new management
This hotel needs new management, this is not a staff issue, they are not trained or equipped to fix weak management. Every part of our experience was sub-par, we called and told hotel we would check in late they gave our room away, they put us in new room, but it was not clean, they moved us to new room which was fine, next day Keela was super helpful and comped the us for all the issues at check in. Tried to eat at hotel over an hour to get food when not crowded, housekeeping did not show up the third day even though we were gone for most of the day. Pool had no towels, bill was incorrect at check out, Kendra was super helpful and got that issue resolved. This is a well located hotel, but dated, could be great, but someone with leadership that does more then corporate e mails needs to be in charge.
