We have never been to one of this brand and there are many things they do that are unique to their company it took a while to get used to it for example you enter the building on the second floor not the first floor

Our stay was fine. My complaint would be with the corporate level. How is it you charge for parking for guests??? Where do you expect YOUR GUESTS to park??? It is RIDICULOUS!!! Are YOUR GUESTS supposed to park at some other business to spend money at yours??? A parking fee would be understandable, in that case!!! Having to pay to park on YOUR PROPERTY to spend OUR MONEY at YOUR ESTABLISHMENT is LUDACRIS and greedy. On top of Resort fees, service fees, AND an extra "hold" of $100 for "incedentals" that isn't mentioned ANYWHERE???? The amount of hidden fees your corporation puts on the customer is undeniably shady and sickening greedy. Your corporation can do better.

Hidden "Resort" Fees, super squeaky beds. So far down the hall. Elevators took 3 turns to use. Could not use carts for luggage except in main entrance which was super far away. Had to lug bags up full sets of stairs or walk forever. Unreliable staff for checking in towels. Assured us verbally all was well, and then got billed outrageous money for old cheap small towels that we returned!!!!!
