We came to stay at the hotel for a Wedding for one night. Our stay at the hotel was short, thank goodness. Our check-in process started off difficult because nobody was at the front desk and then once we were checked in, we had to ask for a Wedding gift bag as the gentleman forgot. We got in the room and I noticed the comforter had brown dirty marks all throughout. I called and spoke to someone and they said they will have somebody change it. When the two housekeepers got to the room, they decided to tell me it was humidity and not dirt. I didn’t know humidity can dirty a comforter. And if that's the case, I am assuming there is way too much humidity. After arguing that I wanted it changed, they finally did so. After that, I noticed crumbs all over the floor as this room has never been vacuumed between stays. At this point, I had to get ready for the Wedding and didn’t have time for another argument. For $200 at a Holiday Inn, I am expecting a clean room for me to get ready at and to sleep. I went to the Front Desk while I was leaving and yet again, hard to find somebody there so I waited for a little bit. I then told her my scenario and she said housekeeping left for the day and she would notify her manager. Never heard anything. Early that morning, we were checking out. Once again, I am saying “Excuse Me” because I see somebody in the office to the left of the Front Desk but nobody is acknowledging my presence. The lady finally comes out and tells me “oh, the manager gave you $20 off your stay.” I just wanted to leave because of the lack of customer service. That following Monday, I called the hotel and spoke to Linda, Director of Sales. She heard me out and basically told me I was a liar, because the housekeeping is so good, and there’s always somebody at the front desk. She said the last time somebody called to complain was 2 years ago, the reviews here show otherwise. She said she would get back to me and I have yet to hear from her. This just explains why I don’t believe what she has to say is not the case. I would have left if it wasn’t for the Wedding. I do not recommend staying here.
I showed up with my family to find out that when I booked online I had chosen the wrong room. I wanted a family suit when I returned and explained what I had wanted they said well that isn’t what you booked. The lady at counter said “we do not even offer a bed with three rooms. After I stood in lobby looking it up online and showing her she then decided that they did actually have a room that offered three beds but only one. It was available but they couldn’t honor the online price and it would be 270 vs 209 that was offered on choice hotels. They explained how prices change depending on availability and I could book online and get that price but I explain it couldn’t be booked because it was after midnight. They were absolutely unhelpful and rude. My family had booked 8 rooms in this hotel. My mom made several trips to be able to even get a key programmed correctly to open her room. I definitely will not be returning to a quality inn anytime soon they were very unhelpful and did there best to cheat people if given an opportunity .
Had stayed at the Townplace Suites before when visiting family in this area. This time there was no availability there, so I booked the Homewood Suites for the 2 nights we were in town, even though I was aware the reviews for this hotel weren't as good. Of all the Homewood suites I stayed at over the years this one is by far the worst. Starting with check-in, the front desk clerk was very uninformative. No recognizing my Hilton Honors membership, no instructions on amenities or breakfast hours, etc. After settling in I went to the lobby to get some hot water for tea, and found the water was barely luke-warm. Heated it in the microwave in the room. Breakfast next morning was equally disappointing. This location doesn't have the belgian waffle maker that all other HW suites I've stayed at does. The usual omelettes/sausage selections were just as cold as the hot water was (again). We decided to eat breakfast at a nearby diner the next morning. Other things we noted: the drain under the sink was dripping water the first morning of our stay, and I noticed there was tape (not duct tape, brown tape) wrapped around the drain pipe leading to the trap! The shower curtain rod was badly bent, and the anchors at either end were loose in the wall. There were spackle spots next to each anchor, and I realized when I took a shower that the tub is so slippery many people must have grabbed the curtain instead of the safety bar, which explains why the anchors were pulled out of the wall! The front desk personnel was always someone different from Friday night to Sunday when we went to talk to someone, and nothing was ever fixed. This location is badly in need of renovation and upgrading. There needs to be an overhaul of personnel (in terms of continuity and wanting to help), and the food needs to be HOT. The cost for 2 nights was outrageous compared to the condition and service of this hotel, especially since we've experienced the Townplace Suites next door.
Clean spacious rooms. Great breakfast varieties. Amazing staff except the general manager. I’ve notice him being beyond rude to guests and staff. If it weren’t for his employees I would not have come back. When I ask the front desk lady’s and the housekeepers for help , they always help with a smile. There’s been a few times that I had to ask the general manager for help and he talked down to me like I was an inconvenience and beneath him
