The accommodations were that of a two star hotel...not to mention that the A/C never worked properly, it was like sleeping with a fan, on an Aug summer night...ugh! it worked for about 2 hrs and then it would literally freeze and shut down...ice accumulated bec the filters looked like they haven't been cleaned since the hotel opened, water leaking out of it onto the disgusting laminate floors...yes, laminate! As I entered the room the first time I wondered about the laminate...I now know why.\n\nMy daughter forgot her beloved toy on the bed that she's had for 12 yrs...I called the hotel for a week, only to be told each time that the toy was not found. I was hoping for some sympathy and explained that the toy had no value other than sentimental and that a child was devastated over its loss...the front desk attendant took offense and told me that the workers had been employed a long time...meanwhile when we were checking out, the staff was striking outside! Seems to me that after checking out, we no longer mattered...I even wrote letters offering to pay shipping costs if our toy was found, which no one answered. if you stay in this hotel, do not leave anything behind, especially of value...obviously, the hotel will not take responsibility. Most good hotels I know, will mail you things left behind. \n\nI read some reviews on here where people talk about paying $80 p/night...we however paid double, so I was very disappointed to say the least. We booked this hotel bec we read that it was a new hotel...NOT TRUE...do yourself a favor...book elsewhere. BTW their coffee sucks too!!!!"^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ . "2012-09-07T00:00:00"^^ .
