Hotel charged extra fees, had dirty rooms, and unheated pool.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration you encountered. We regret the confusion regarding the breakfast charges through Expedia and understand how disappointing it is when information does not match upon arrival. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we will follow up with both our team and our third-party booking partners to help prevent this from happening in the future. We’re also concerned to hear about the condition of your room and the cleanliness around the bathtub. This feedback has been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for immediate review. Additionally, we apologize for the pool temperature not meeting expectations and for any interactions with staff that came across as unprofessional. This will be addressed with our team, as respectful and welcoming service is a top priority. We appreciate you acknowledging the positive experience with our night shift staff and regret that the rest of your stay overshadowed that. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. Sincerely, Audrey Dav

hotel failed to refund an unused parking fee charge

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the frustration you’ve encountered regarding the parking fee authorization. The hold should indeed drop off after checkout when the garage isn’t used, and we’re sorry this has not happened as expected. We’re especially disappointed to hear about the difficulty you faced when calling for assistance. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your comments will be addressed with our team to ensure better communication and courtesy moving forward. Please reach out to us directly with your reservation details, and we will be happy to look into the authorization and make sure it is resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate the opportunity to make it right.
