Find somewhere else

Non smoke rooms smell like smoke, customer service sucks they think you’re threatening them because you speak firmly. Music is played all night, during the day there’s barley anyone and at night time people use this motel for drugs and sex

I booked this place looking at reviews and had high hopes. Unfortunately it was the exact opposite. The place was dirty, blankets with burn marks in them. Empty kicthen with no amenities despite being an extended stay facility, which I paid to upgrade to. Denied access to the advertised shuttle service. Very disappointed and would not book again. WiFi was also extremely weak.

Pet friendly is not pet friendly

First off I rented a room that was supposed to have a kitchen. Upon arrival oh those rooms are not pet friendly. So the hotel says pet friendly but it is not all pet friendly. My dogs are registered service animals being I'm a 100% disabled United States Marine. I brought my paperwork into the lobby with one of my dogs and was told I had to check out. My fogs are immaculate they do not stink and are so gentle and personality is top notch. My irtimerary says my room fee with the kitchen is 108 , I'm paying 126 for little... box also I got a call for a 200$ pet deposit when clearly on the Swan Hotel website it says service animals no pet fee. The little dude at the front desk said it's up to him. THIS PLACE STOLE MY MONEY AND THEN THEY CALLED THE COPS ON ME PET FRIENDLY JUST DON'T BRING A PET HERE OR BE EXHILED TO A SUBSTANDARD ROOM. OH AND THE WATER GOT BOTH MY DOGS SICK. Believe me

We called for the shuttle service at the airport. They did not tell us where to wait for the shuttle. We waited at the hotel shuttle area and this was not the location. It took us approximately 2 hours to leave the airport. We ended up calling Uber. The following morning we were awoken at 4:44 am by the front desk banging on our door shouting out that it was time to check out. The front desk then used the key and opened our door. Check out wasn't until noon hour. She made an error and went to the wrong room. We couldn't get back to sleep afterwards as we were shaken by the experience. My husband went to the front desk and asked for a refund, or discount or some sort of compensation. The front desk had absolutely no compassion. We would not recommend this motel/hotel.

Rudest receptionist ever

Do not ever stay here! For your security. Hotels.com if you keep playing with the algoritim of your ratings and offer places like this with a rate of 8 and above, I will consider stop using your services again because its dissapointing to expect a Very Good place and arrive to somewhere where the only you want to do is runaway
