When I arrived early for check in, I was told very curtly that my room would be ready at 3pm. I returned at around 2:40pm, got my keys, and payed the $200 deposit (pretty high and actually cost more than what I paid to stay for two nights) and was told the room would be ready at 3pm. I waited in my car, and at 3:15, the room was still not ready (highly unprofessional cleaner who enjoyed taking his sweet time regardless of the check in time). I started to walk back inside to ask, and was shouted at by i'm assuming the receptionist in the parking lot that it would be just five more minutes. I saw the cleaner, and despite saying I needed to be in the room asap since I had a place to be at 4pm, he reiterated the 5 minutes. 10 minutes later, he was still not done so I went inside to ask what the holdup was. Begrudgingly, the same receptionist said she would book me in another room, and I finally got in half an hour after I was supposed to be checked in. Needless to say, I was also late for my 4pm appointment. Overall, considering what I paid for the room, it wasn't a bad hotel aside from the general location, but the extremely poor customer service just soured everything else about it.

After running the A/C for abit I called front desk to say it wasn’t cooling the room. 2 staff came up and said it’s because I’m on the second floor and it’s hot outside. One offered to move me to a different room but it didn’t have a kitchenette which I booked. I chose to stay there and she said she’d follow up in the morning and do something; no one checked in with me again. I had asked if they had a fan but they didn’t. The room had cobwebs with a spider in it on the light, a dead hornet on the artwork and stains on the bedsheets. There was no cleaning service provided and when I asked for towels I was told I had to bring my wet ones to the desk to get new. I saw hskp staff walk by my room. I paid $87night for 3 nights. When I checked out I had to sit and wait for the staff to go check my room I assume to ensure I hadn’t damaged or stole anything even though they had taken $200 pre-auth on my card. I travel a lot and have never been asked to wait for my room to be checked.
