Hannah family with young children April 11, 2024
Positives: The friendliness of the staff. They were great and exceeded expectations.
Negatives: Got to our room, it Smelled like marijuana so we opened the windows to try and knock it out. That didn’t help. We had 3 kids with us so we weren’t comfortable keeping them in there so we went to the front desk to inform them. They had no issues and moved us immediately. 2nd room didn’t have enough sleep space for all of us and once again they were exceptional with moving us. Final room was good. We were out for the evening and got back to the room that night a little after 10. Once we were in the room, we hadn’t had enough time to set our things down and the phone was ringing with a noise complaint. While we heard people around us all night, we didn’t complain. Nothing out of the ordinary when staying at a hotel. Decided to go ahead and check out the next day. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but didn’t think our 2 year old would sit on the bed for another 24 hours without making a peep. The following morning we got up. Our feet hadn’t hit the floor but to go to the bathroom to shower. At a little after 10 AM, we received another call to confirm we were checking out early and to receive another noise complaint on our 2 year old that hadn’t even gotten a start to her day. We quickly packed our things and left. I want to add that the manager on duty was more than apologetic and understanding. So if you have small children who aren’t able to sit on the couch or bed, don’t stay here. I feel the walls and ceiling are just too thin. All noise carries way too easily considering we heard every step of the large person above us; the intoxicated people yelling at their child at 2 in the morning; and the folks across from us having a good time talkin about Fortnite.
