Terrible guest service.
Booked a Studio Suite for 6 days and was given a regular room. Called twice to discuss with the manager and was told they were unavailable, never received a call back either. Told by one desk person that ‘technically’ it was a suite….it wasn’t. Had no intention of assisting, just fought with me to save a few bucks. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Thank you for taking time to comment Michael! I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with our customer support. I will back up my employees by saying our GM was out with covid, but she has since returned. The phone number we have on file is incorrect. If you'd like to speak to her, please call between 8am and 2pm Mon-Fri. Our front desk staff has been questioned about this incident and has been instructed how to better deal with any similar situation in the future. We are also looking into third party sites that support us, and seeing if we can make adjustments on the description/category of that particular room at our location. Thank you for sharing your frustration over this matter. We will use this as a learning tool with all future employees, to enhance our staff service.

I'd Stay Here Again
Although the outside had been damaged by a severe hail storm, there were no issues inside. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the breakfast was fantastic, the room immaculate, and when I asked for a desk light, it was delivered to my room. I would definitely stay there again. Plus, they give away free cookies in the evening.

Was going to report broken glass in the window of my room but when I took my dogs out to go potty I noticed extensive hail damage to the front of the property. It looks crappy from the outside, but they've stepped up and the inside is quite nice - despite what the outside looks like. Staff are very friendly and professional.

The exterior suffered hail damage and I was worried pulling up and seeing so much damage to siding and window frames . Interior was perfect however and it was explained to us that they are waiting on repairs since they , as well as many others , were affected . Staff was amazing, very pleasant and accommodating . Room was clean, as well as the lobby and public rest room . We did not use the pool , so can’t comment on that area . Highly recommend .

Rooms were great, staff was good, however they double charged my card and refuse to take the charge off. Excuse after excuse. Very, very disappointed
Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023
Response from MAC on Aug 15, 2023
Thank you for taking time to review your stay with us Jerry! The process for card payments is an authorization on the card, which holds the amount on the card until the payment has processed. This happens at check-in. The payment isn't processed until you check out. It does tend to look like 2 payments but it's not. The authorization will drop off once your card company or bank drops it. We have only received funds for the amount of your stay and nothing else. If you have further questions, please contact us.

Broken glass and shredded curtains
They had a bad storm in May which ruined their facade and broke many of their windows. They have made no attempt at repair. I could open my window and reach up and touch jagged, shaft, broken glass. This is very dangerous. The hotel next door looked fine and had obviously repaired the storm damage. Staff was sullen and unhelpful. My traveling companion had curtains that were literally in rags. Although rooms are comfortable and clean, I think Radisson should really take a look at the property because children could easily injure themselves on the broken windows.

Thank you for taking time to review your stay with us Barbara! All of the hotels in the area have damage to their property, and none has had repairs done at this time. Our hotel looks the most damaged because we have vinyl siding and the rest are stucco. We are all waiting on insurance and contractors to get the ball rolling, until then it's just a waiting game. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you, and hope you'll be understanding of our situation.
