The property was great. The AC units kept us up all night even after turning it off. Reported this issue to the front desk, but when we came back to our room at night, there was still the issue. We decided to head back home at night and not stay another night.

Thank you for your review. I was very disappointed to hear that overall your stay with us failed to meet and exceed your expectations. I asked that our management reach out to see what else we can do and to ensure that there is nothing further you would like to discuss. We hope that you still had safe travels overall.

Staff went out of their way to accommodate us when we were placed in a room with loud children and a dog that would not stop yipping. The walls are thin which did not help our situation. The staff found us a different room and we slept very well. We appreciated their willingness to help us out.

Dirty pillow. What else is dirty?
A pillow was dirty. I mentioned it to the person at the reception. He could not reduce the too rate because the room had been booked through Hotels.com. Disappointing.
