Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experiences. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment caused by the billing concerns and the way your most recent situation was handled. We understand how upsetting it would be to believe you had already paid for your stays, only to be told that additional nights were owed, particularly when you had transaction records available. We’re also sorry that you felt you were not given the opportunity to explain the situation or have your documentation properly reviewed. Your concerns regarding the additional charge and the lack of communication should be taken seriously. We also regret that you felt disrespected during your interaction with our staff and that you were uncomfortable with how your situation was discussed in front of others. Our goal is always to handle billing disputes professionally and respectfully. Because your concerns involve specific charges and payment records, we encourage you to contact management directly and provide your receipts and bank statements so the transactions can be thoroughly investigated and any errors addressed. We’re sorry that your experiences have left you

Hotel cancelled confirmed reservation without notice due to overbooking

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the situation you encountered upon arrival after your long drive and concert. We understand how frustrating and disappointing it is to travel several hours, arrive late at night with a confirmed reservation, and then be told there is no room available. That is not the experience we want for any guest, and we can appreciate how this would feel especially confusing given your prior communication with the property earlier in the day. Your feedback regarding reservation handling, communication, and check-in policies has been shared with hotel management and ownership for immediate review. Situations like this should be clearly communicated and handled with better coordination to avoid guests being inconvenienced after travel. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and regret that your experience ended before your stay even began.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are very sorry to hear about the multiple issues you experienced during your stay. What you’ve described—including non-functioning phone lines, repeated key card failures, lack of front desk availability, unresolved maintenance issues with the tub, and concerns about housekeeping service—is not acceptable and does not reflect the standard of service we expect to provide. We also understand how frustrating and exhausting it must have been to deal with these problems after long workdays. Your feedback regarding communication failures and reservation handling is especially concerning, and we have shared all of your comments with hotel management and ownership for immediate review and corrective action. Issues affecting guest access, safety, and basic in-room functionality require urgent attention. We truly regret that your experience was so disruptive and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.

Hotel overbooked and charged a cancellation fee for a cancelled reservation.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the overbooking issue upon arrival and the frustration this has caused, especially after booking in advance. We understand how upsetting it is to be told a reservation is no longer available when you did not cancel it yourself, and we also recognize how concerning it is to be charged a cancellation fee while being unable to reach the property for clarification. This is not the level of communication or service we expect. Your concerns regarding reservation handling, overbooking, and lack of response from the hotel have been shared with hotel management and ownership for immediate review. Situations like this should be addressed clearly and promptly, and guests should not be left without support or explanation.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about the multiple issues you encountered during your stay, including cleanliness concerns, plumbing problems, and the lack of follow-through on maintenance requests.

We also understand how frustrating it must have been to find discrepancies between advertised amenities and what was actually available on-site. Your comments regarding room condition, drainage issues, and pool and facility availability have been escalated to hotel management for immediate review and corrective action.

Hotel room was dirty with moldy air conditioning and broken amenities.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations and that several aspects of your room caused significant discomfort. What you described regarding the incorrect bedding configuration, lack of follow-through on your request, and the condition of the air conditioning unit is unacceptable. We also understand how frustrating it must have been to experience issues with multiple in-room amenities such as the alarm clock and television, especially when traveling with family. Cleanliness and maintenance concerns—particularly anything related to air quality or debris from the AC unit—are taken very seriously, and your comments will be escalated immediately to both housekeeping and maintenance leadership for full inspection and corrective action. The condition of the room you described does not reflect the standards we aim to uphold. We also regret the inconvenience of not having an easy way to contact the property afterward. That is something that should always be clearly available, and we will ensure it is addressed. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment this caused during your stay and
