I will NEVER stay at one of these places again.We are pleased to announce that the 2023 Robinson Jeffers Tor House Prize for Poetry, an honorarium of $1,000, is awarded to: How do you over book you hotel, then put guest in a room like this? The entire company should be ashamed of themselves. I’ve never experienced this level of incompetency from a company. We had to sleep with our jackets on because the room was so cold. We ask for space heaters since the heat is not working, they had none to provide. The carpets has blue stains on it and to top all of this off the HEAT DOES NOT WORK!! The weather showed a temperature of 29 degrees at that point!! My husband goes back to the front desk and the clerk says he’s aware of all the missing items, this is a room that is “under construction”. We go to the next room, unlock the door and see half the room is MISSING!!! There is no television, no couch, no hangers to hang up our clothes, no iron, no lamp. I let him know we need another bed for our teenage daughter, and he said he will bring a roll away bed. We unlock the door with the keys that were given to us and we see someone else’s luggage all over the room and a unmade bed! We go back to the front desk and the clerk says he has no idea who is in the room we payed for and just gave us the keys to, and he only has one room left in the entire facility which is a single king bed suite. ![]() We thought the housekeeper accidentally left it there after cleaning the room. After checking in we proceeded to our room and the first sign of trouble was a housekeeping sign hanging on the doorknob. I was assured she would call me the next day by 1pm it’s now almost 2, and I still haven’t been contacted. I reached out to the hotel later that day and was told she was on another floor cleaning, since a number of the housekeeping staff called off. He said he could refund our stay if we could find another place to stay (9pm on a Saturday night? No thanks.) He apologized again and said he couldn’t do anything else, but the manager (Joanna or Johanna) would be contacting me on Monday. And what we thought was a cigarette burn in the carpet turned out to be the tip of a latex glove! Gross! Spoke with the gentleman at the front desk he apologized but said there were no other rooms where we could be moved the hotel was completely booked. There were fruit flies and ants in the waste baskets. The office chair was a joke you could only sit on the lowest setting, because the hydraulics were broken. The carpet in our room was absolutely filthy, with stains throughout. Maybe they should have started in the rooms, rather than the pool area. I understand this hotel is undergoing renovations.
