Great Staff & Location - POOR Infrastructure
First, the location and staff were fantastic. Everyone who worked at the hotel was SO nice and tried their best. The hotel conditions were poor. We were promised "Plaza View" which looked out over a road and some dumpsters. The pool and pool deck were filthy, there were no towels. The phones never worked, not for room service, valet, etc. We asked for clean towels for hours. We had to dry off with a bath mat and hand towels. The bathroom smelled like sewage the entire time. There was simply not enough staff at this property. The line at the front desk was always long, and the phones were left ringing. I felt so bad for the hotel staff to have to work in such conditions with no support. For the cost of this hotel, I would never stay again.
