Oh noooooooo. No, no, no, no, and no. Let me start this review putting things into perspective so it is fair. So, before I reached here, I was stuck at Miami International (my LEAST favorite airport and my least favorite city, like just ridiculously inconvenient and expensive for no reason) for over 8 hours, on my feet, waiting in line to be rebooked after my flight got canceled. I'm sure the whole global black out affected everything but I don't think they canceled it for weather even though they said they did, so I didn't even get vouchers. So, just know when I got here I was in pain, hungry, thirsty, exhausted and sad. There's no sugar coating it. I was a miserable baby who wanted to be home.
So, after I got rebooked, I started calling around to hotels because I wasn't going until the next day and I did not want to sleep there. I was by myself, cold, with both cash and my passport on me and felt vulnerable. I called to close by hotels and they were either booked or unreasonably expensive. I called this place and thier registration representative got me a room here. First, they told me I could check in when I got there (4:30 - 5:00 am) instead of the regular check-in time of 4 PM, they quoted me a price, and said that they would send a shuttle to the airport to pick me up- which I thought was weird because they were an hour away.
Let me get it out the way that they definitely do not send a shuttle to Miami International. I think the lady was just trying to get the sale and was saying just anything. I wasn't upset about this, I just took an Uber, which was understandably expensive.
So, when I arrived, looking like what the cat drug in, I was met by the Male manager that has a Caribbean accent. I know what his name is, but I will leave it alone. He was very dismissive. unfriendly, and flippant. He ended up charging an early check-in fee even though I told him that I was told by whoever does thier booking that I could check-in early without fees. I mean, I paid for the day! I have an Uncle who works in hotel management and he definitely has cart blanche on who he charges more to or waiving a fee. I wanted to tell this guy about all that I been through but I didn't because he looked like he obviously didn't care. I paid the fee because I was so tired and in pain. I just wanted to sleep. He acted as if he had multiple clients in back of me but I was the only one in the Hotel. The hotel prices differed than that from their very own booking agency which is bad practice. The manager practically tossed my key at me then walked in the back.
The next day I came out to get some toiletries that I had delivered to the hotel in the lobby. They didn't even call to let me know my order was delivered and where it was. I just came to the lobby and figured it out. Just like thier manager, the day shift ignored me when I came down, no acknowledge and I refused to ask them anything because they all looked grumpy and miserable. Wow.
My very very part about thus stay was leaving
I will never come here again.
