This is my normal place to stay when I visit LC but this time was concerning. We stayed in room 209 and felt like the only thing holding us up was the carpet. The entire floor where the carpet started to the 2nd bed felt like a big hole underneath. It caused me to stumble more than once, falling onto the bed at one point, because it was so bad. This should be taken care of ASAP before someone goes straight through! The young lady that checked us in was super sweet! The breakfast staff and woman that was there Sunday morning to check us out, not so friendly at all!

What i didn't like about this hotel i am a women that wear makeup while using face towels to wipe my makeup off my face before bed i was charged $50 for makeup on a towel i have never heard of any such thing ever when stay at any hotel keep in mind that these towels are used they are not new they have been used plenty of times over and over also the sink in the restroom the water didnt let out it stayed letting out very slow and the refrigerator didn't work so what im saying before you come for your customers make sure you have your property right it should have been stated on a receipt or an invoice Statement when checking in if you are going to charged someone something don't you think i paid for the towels send them to me not charged me for them to and keep my $50 deposit for them and also when sitting a reservation you are not telling your customers that you are being charged for a $50 deposit so you are making me feel as a customer feel that you are charging everyone that enters you Hotel this price for tedious THINGS please beware........

I booked a room for my husband and I for his birthday. I called and asked if there was a way the hotel could possibkly set up baloons and a cake if I had it delivered to the room and was told to call back later. I decided not to because it seemed like that was too much to ask for. When we got there, the sweet girl from Kenya got us booked in and ready to go. We went to our room, got ready for the concert we were attending that night. When we came back, the room was humid and cool but not 68 at where we set the AC. We got back to the room around 1230am. I went to the front desk and spoke with the night girl ( from Nepal) and asked for an extra blanket, a towel and washrag. She said she was going to check the laundry and bring it to the room. This NEVER happened. At 6am, we checked out. The room was so hot and humid, neither of us slept. We had still been waiting on a towel and washrag and never got those, so we decided to just make the drive home as swe were both exhausted and tired. I notified the front desk who was the same night person and her only reply was " oh I thought you were coming to get the blanket. I reminded her that she said she was going to bring it to me and didnt." I advised her of the AC and she said she was sorry and told me she was from Nepal and her english was broken. Very nice girl I just dont think she was able to understand some of our advanced English compared to Nepal's english in which she said this herself.
