They overcharged my Amex card one nights stay without my authorization and homeless people wandering in and out of parking lot, no nighttime security

Ron, Thank you for choosing us for your stay. We apologized and refunded the billing mistake for you. Unfortunately a mistake was made. As far as homeless people on our property in the parking lot we have seen a few pass by but by no means do we have a homeless problem and we have security systems throughout our hotel.

There is a bar inside the lobby. The cigarette smoke permeates up through the loft over looking the bar on the second floor. Also, they allow pets in some rooms. The urine smell is strong as you move further down the hallway. Once I entered the room it was worse. I was in a pet room. Once I told the front desk about it, they sent someone to spray the carpet, thoroughly. I was satisfied with their response.

The property was clean and well maintained. The hotel is a bit older not horrible but the doors are thin and you always hear talking in the halls. The breakfast was okay but it was the same thing everyday. Again not horrible but the difference in my opinion from a 4 to a 5star property.

We did not get the room we booked, room smelled musky, and we found a piece of broken glass on the floor. no coffee or hot water available (like other hotels). It needs to be updated and some extra for the customers (hot coffee and water should be easy)

Georgie, Thank you for choosing us for your recent stay. I'm not sure what you mean by you didn't get the room you booked. We always issue the room type you request and if not available we will try to upgrade when possible. As far as hot water and coffee we have coffee in every guest room and have coffee packs available to our guests if they run out. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay and hope to see you again for future stays.

The curtain for the hot tub to be able to take an actual shower was broken so you couldnt properly shut the curtain there was mold growing on the vents above the hot tub and the bed protector that’s supposed to be zipped up around the mattress wasn’t even fully on the bed or zipped shut. Heat in the room was cold and didn’t properly heat the room.

Friendly and helpful staff. It's a pet friendly facility, which I'm not opposed to, but there needs to be a more rigorous cleaning cycle for pet rooms. My first room wreaked of dog urine. They moved me with no issue.
