Arrived and only after checking in and going to our room did we see that the water heater was broken at the hotel and the rug in our room (right next to where repairs were happening) was soaking wet. Obviously they had no way of knowing they’d need to replace the water heater but 1) they could have told us at check in and 2) the front desk person was so aggressive and hostile that it was actually shocking, and especially considering the fact that there was no water in an entire building of the property. It was super disappointing and upsetting. Our money was eventually refunded but truly without any help from the property. I’ve stayed there before but really can’t see myself staying again in light of the behavior of one particularly aggressive staff person.
