I’ve been coming here for the last four years and the room I had this last time was the worse room my fiancé and I stayed in. The shower head was filthy. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, my closet door didn’t shut and my window shutters were broken. When I called to let the lady at the front desk to let her know I was checking out she asked how was my stay and I told her about my issues and concerns of the room and her answers for that was you should have said something to me so we could have someone come fix those things. First of all those things should have been fixed and cleaned before renting out the room and who wants anyone coming in their room during their vacation/stay and fix things? Certainly not me. My fiancé and I are really disappointed in our stay and we don’t want to come back and it’s not because of the room it’s because what the lady at the front desk said we felt like it was extremely unprofessional and she could have been more understanding instead of trying to make us feel like we should have said something when in all reality they should have made sure the room was up to par.
