4/10 Fair
Nov 18, 2024
Rude staff member
When I went to the lobby to check in at 3PM on Nov 16, 2024, I had to wait about 15 minutes while the single person behind the desk allowed a woman to continue to ask for a free room repeatedly. The lobby was overly warm and uncomfortable. The room itself was fine. Nothing great, nothing terrible. The heater/AC unit was a problem as the heat wouldn't turn off until you put the AC back on. The bathroom sink was a little dirty but you don't go to this hotel chain for a glamorous stay. Around 10AM I realized I was running a bit behind so I called the front desk to ask for a late checkout. I requested one additional hour, so checkout at noon rather than 11AM. The guy on the phone said that was fine. Then at 11:15AM he is knocking on the door asking how I was going to pay for the additional hour. He made no mention of this when I called. It's common for hotels to allow early check in or late checkout if there isn't someone waiting for the room. For him to be requesting money, when he made no mention of it when I requested the late checkout, was uncalled for, and the way he decided to do this was downright rude. It's fine if you want to go against the way things have been done for years. But you should let people know about payments when they request something, not go banging on their door. I shoved my things in a bag and left at 11:25AM. I don't plan on returning to this hotel in the future.
