We stayed there for two weeks in April, 2022, when our new house was being readied. We were promised room #102, which looks on the courtyard and would have likely been quieter. Instead, we were put into #101, which was over the parking garage entrance, facing the street, and beside the outdoor parking. There was constant traffic noise, noise from the parking lot, and smoke and pot odours from people standing in front of our room outside and smoking. Someone also smoked in the stairwell next to our room. Our four-year girl was coughing when this happened. I did report it. We were all ill for several days with a gastrointestinal disease (likely Norovirus); I had it the worst with severe dehydration and diarrhea. The only thing all three of us ate was the included breakfast. Speaking of which, the breakfast room was closed for renovations after the first four days, so we went from bacon, eggs, sausage and waffles to cereal and gross muffins in plastic for our last twelve days. Also, my little girl drinks apple juice, and for the last twelve days the ad-hoc breakfast only served orange juice, so we had to buy her juice to bring to the breakfast. I only had the real breakfast for two days, as I was too ill to eat it on days three and four. I don't know how much I was charged for the breakfast. The lounge was closed in the evenings, because it was being used for the ad-hoc breakfast, so there was nowhere to sit outside of our room. We were assigned parking spot #14, which was outside of our window in the surface parking. They asked if I wanted to move to the underground parking on day two; I told them that I was fine with spot #14 because it was outside our window. Later that same day, they stopped using the assigned parking system, and surface parking became a "free for all". No one told me this at the time of the parking discussion, or thereafter - I found out when I went in to report someone else parked in #14. So, from then on, I had to park in whatever space was available in the surface parking. The parking at Huntingdon is about twice as expensive as any other hotel in the area. Twice when we were there, our toilet clogged. We did not put anything in that would clog it, and do not use a lot of toilet paper. One of the times, maintenance was not available (5:00pm on a Monday?!?), so I had to fix it myself. Once, the kitchenette sink clogged. Nothing but water and soap went down there during our stay. I had to fix that, too. After we left, we found that the food, which we had purchased while staying there, had been infested with tiny ants. I requested contact from management multiple times; I have not been contacted. Also, one week later, I still have not received my receipt; which they offered to email me. I am VERY interested in seeing how much I paid for the breakfast, and for the parking; because those amounts should absolutely be refunded. Obviously, I cannot recommend staying at the Huntingdon Manor.
