Front desk clerk was extremely rude and spoke to me as if I didn't have any sense. Kept repeating things in a rude tone as if I didn't agree to comply with any rules and regulations. Tried to argue with me about giving me a receipt. My room was extremely clean and comfortable. Front desk should be trained on customer service. Had I not been tired from looking for rooms all night already, I would not have stayed due to her poor attitude and service.

Soorryyyy
We got to the hotel to check in around noon and were told that we couldn't check in until 3 so we left and came back again at 3, which at that time the office door was locked and no one would answer the door or outside bell. We then left and came back again 2 more times and still nobody was even in the office to answer the door then finally by the third time someone did answer but we were told that due to something called expedia.com ( which is something I have never even heard of or have any idea what that even is and do not understand why they would tell Sapphire to not rent a room to me that was already paid for and then on top of all that hassle she claims that she didn't have to refund me. Me nor my husband ever even stepped foot in a room at all..!!?

Michael, We are sorry to hear of this inconvenience. We will look into this matter directly. However, we want to inform you that Expedia is the parent company of Hotels.com, and an email was received from Expedia telling us that they would not honour the reservation. If you have any issues with a refund due to this, please contact Expedia or Hotels.com and they can work this issue out directly.

Worst customer service ever
Horrible service completely rude. Told me I couldn’t have guest in my room even though I have 1 persons in the room other than the set number of guest which was 2. Go to take a shower but unfortunately I couldn’t because I had no soup and when I called the front for some they told me to come some. When I got to the front they had 3 cups 1/4 full of each shampoo, conditioner and body wash. No lids. Breakfast was very disappointing also! They did not have anything to eat other than dry rasain brand flacks! Literally! No milk at all! Who serves cereal for breakfast with no milk? Couldn’t even get anything to drink because there was nothing to even try to drink. At the end of my stay of course they would come banging on my door at like 12:55 telling me checkout is 11am. Well when I checked in they told me I could check out at 12 because I requested a late checkout when I booked the room. Alittle after 11 they come banging again saying it’s passed 11 and I once again reminded them that they have gave me a later checkout and that it was 12 not 11. I don’t understand what kind of customer service they are used to but this is not the way to treat your customers. I will not be requesting anyone to stay here!!! I will not be staying here either!

Please Don’t Stay Here.
Rooms are not even close to as pictured. Walls are painted in browns. Broken toothbrush left in the room nightstand, which had obviously been there a long time by the look of grime and just nastiness. Shower had a few long black hairs in the tub (I’m an ash blonde). The ‘sitting area’ couch was faded, ripped in places and just generally gross, not to mention blue and white swirl pattern. The entire room was horribly mismatched. The bright blue and red carpet (think ‘bowling alley’) was halfheartedly vacuumed, mostly just the two travelled areas, but still had small white papers etc. around the wall areas. Questionable people walking around and goings on through the night. Not much sleep due to this, even though they do have cameras set up in the lobby registration area. This hotel was previously a Days Inn and they still use a lot of the same items left when they changed the name, items in the rooms/lobby. The only positive I can give is that the sheets *appeared* to be clean, bright white and small smell of detergent. Overall not a good place to stay, pay the extra $30 and go stay and the Holiday Inn, I would have, had they a room and not booked up at midnight. This stay at the Sapphire was definitely not planned. I normally do not leave reviews, but this one needed to be left. Save yourself the grief and waste of money, which they will not refund, even if you walk in and abruptly walk back out to the lobby to get out of there. Overall zero stars. Can’t upload my photos :/

Awful, Awful, Awful......We knew we were in for a rough night's sleep when we saw the room next to us had a fan in the window. Turns out, people came to the window all night long -- lots of noise and what appears to be a dangerous situation. When complaining the next day, the desk clerk acknowledged that there were people living in the room as a permanent residence....Come on management, you know what was going an and deserve this review!

Disappointed!!
The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Our room was handicapped accessible so the doors were wide and room was very spacious. Didn't feel cramped in at all. The front office staff was not very welcoming nor friendly. I was very disappointed in the so called "continental breakfast" that was supposed to be included. Food offered was extremely limited even though there weren't very many guests staying there at the time. Only 2 pancakes and a couple of pastries and some molded raisin bread was laid out and we went only 20 minutes into the breakfast serving time. There were 4 of us in our party and there wasn't enough food for all of us. Although the room was very clean, I would not consider staying here again. Not worth the price they charge.

Not pet friendly at all!!!
I booked a room here thinking that this was a pet friendly hotel b/c it says there is a $10 a day pet fee. When I arrived there were signs in the lobby that said CLEARLY NO PETS ALLOWED. So being baffled I didn't say anything at first. Then manager tells me there are no pets allowed in rooms. I told him I only booked here because I thought it was pet friendly. He said no it isn't & hasn't been in over a year. So I asked him if I could cancel this for free & he did. I appreciate that he did but he was not very nice nor did he apologized about the problem. I'm glad I had to find another hotel because he was not pleasant. I can't say how the rooms were because I never went in any of them.
