Arrived at midnight with a large group, exhausted after a long trip and a full day of work. Most rooms were not ready, staff didn't know which rooms had been cleaned because apparently the computer system was down.
Desk clerk was put in a bad position, but could have been more communicative and helpful. She and the cleaning staff began going around to the rooms to see if they had been cleaned. Some had been cleaned, but had no bedding. Apparently, the commercial washer was also broken, so they had to take pillowcases to another hotel to wash and dry.
It was nearly 2am before everyone was able to get into their rooms, and some still had no pillows. Two members got into their rooms which had clearly not been cleaned, and one had to switch rooms twice. Our group sat in the lobby exhausted, waiting to go to bed for over 90 minutes, and some closer to 2 hours.
One member of the cleaning staff asked three separate members of our group to kill a huge spider. Again, I am sympathetic to people who are put in a bad position, but the lack of professionalism here was like nothing I've ever experienced.
I booked this hotel because it had an 8.6 rating, and I have never left a negative review on Expedia, but people should know of our experience. When I spoke to the owner and requested a partial refund, he said he was sorry, aware of the issues that caused this, and that he would offer us a discount on our next stay. There's no chance we'll be staying there again.
