Room was clean, but very noisy, we were woken up at 4:30 with the garbage truck going through the area and could hear the people in the room above us walking (stomping?) around most of the night

Disliked: Staff & service
I arrived the motel/hotel about 2, met with friends and came back to the room to watched the raider game which was interrupted several times, as the tv was not working and missed the entire game. I called the front desk twice. The person they sent to the room was a random guy with a sleeveless tank, shorts and looked like house shoes. He spoke no English & it was hard to communicate and could not identify this person. Creepy letting this person in my room as a single female traveler. He took the tv off the wall did something, gave a thumbs up & left. 5 minutes later, it went out again. After bringing it to the attention of Fernandez at the front desk, the following day, she agreed to move me to compensated upgrade to a “king suite” after going back & forth they did not honor this & put me in a room exactly like the one I just moved out of. The different woman that came to the room stated they didn’t have a suite & the tv works in this room. Completely ignored the point of the inconvenience of the move as I was getting ready for a wedding. At this point I could have stayed put, as I didn’t need a tv as I was out of the room all day. Bottom line they were negligent in honoring what they were supposed to do to make up for no tv & never acknowledged my time, gave me a deadline of 12p to make up my mind about switching rooms, so I have to rush to get ready for the wedding & pack & move. Very stressful. Needless to say, I won’t return to this motel/hotel.

The property looks great in pictures, however it is an updated motel at best. No doubt it looks amazing in pictures has very good reviews, with very convenient location, however, the rooms are extremely noisy. Some of the reviews by other guests are very accurate in the sense that Rooms are not properly insulated, you not only can hear everything from the next room, but whenever the water is running in the next bathroom of other rooms you can hear it. In fact, it is so loud that I believe if an auditor did a sound test it would fail the legal sound limit permitted for a hotel establishment. I’m confident the noise created by pressure of water pipes exceeds the 150-200 decibel threshold & hazardous to the human ear & can cause loss of hearing. While, some people reading this might laugh at this (Because this is not something you cannot post a picture about or know just by looking at room pictures) I filmed it on live video all three nights in case the hotel or anyone wants proof for it. Another way to find out is by staying at one of the rooms.
