Flood damage not cleaned up. Broken elevator. Homeless being housed in hotel. Felt unsafe with the number of questionable people around the hotel. Why are we paying full price for less?

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. It’s run down and very dirty. Super schetchy people staying there. There were ants in my room. The internet was not stable, could only work for a couple of minutes at a time, then had to wait 5 minutes to get it back. They charged me an extra $400 in random fees.

This particular hotel had all the great amenities however at no point did myself or my family feel comfortable or safe at the hotel. They were housing people at the hotel and their behaviours and habits did not make it a family friendly experience. From arguments in the breakfast area, smell of marijuana in the lobby, to going out to the car with our children to see a group of people smoking up by our vehicle. We did express our concerns at check out and they were not taken with any sincere acknowledgement. I will not be recommending this hotel to any family, friends or local sport teams.
