Unpacking at home we found we are missing an electric toothbrush which my husband used on the day of our checkout (in room 415) and blue cosmetic bag. We did a thorough search of our vehicle and house. These items are still missing. I called the front desk to see if the items were left in room. Was told by the attendant at the front desk that he would check lost and found, and he would check with the housekeeper who cleaned room 415 after our departure, and he would call me back. He never call back so early evening I called him back. He said that the items were not in lost and found. Housekeeper said she never saw items in the room. Very disappointed that staff member did not return my call. Will be looking for other accommodations in the future.

I liked my room, the location was good and the parking was easy and close to the entrance. The person checking me in took time to be friendly and explain local dining options to everyone before me in the line and then chose to answer a phone call immediately after starting to check me in, then whispering ‘you’re all set’ to dismiss me. I’d had a really long and difficult journey to get there, and then waited some time in a line to check in. I also needed to ask about things nearby but didn’t feel I could. It wasn’t a great welcome especially considering he was so friendly to the other guests.
