Stay Away from FallsView Plaza
Absolutely the most horrible hotel stay I've ever had!! My boyfriend and I booked 2 nights at this hotel, but could only stand to stay here for 1 night. Upon our arrival, I was shocked to find that there is no self-parking available. This hotel only has a valet service for which they charge $20 per day!! I'm sorry but I'm just not comfortable giving my car keys to someone I don't know and having to pay for it.
Second, the pool and jacuzzi were filthy!! The filter for the pool was not operating and i could see trash floating in the pool. Since there was no one in the water at the time, I just assumed that maybe they only turn on the filter if someone enters the pool area. I then asked a receptionist why wasn't the filter on, and after he checked on it, was told "well, maybe the filter is re-cycling itself". Hmm. I've never heard such a thing before and not only do I personally own a pool for my home, but I've been to a few pools before so I know that filters are either on or off. Maybe the filter was broken and he just didn't want to tell me. Either way, I'm letting you know there is a problem with the pool - so do your job and fix it!
There was a lot of construction going on at this hotel that I was not told about. There was no mention of it on the website or when I booked the room over the phone. Only when I got the room and looked out the window and saw a few cranes was I made aware. Since no one was operating the cranes at the time, it didn't bother me so much then, but the next morning at 7 am, after a long night out, I was woken up by extremely loud jackhammering. Not at all what I expected on my vacation!
To make matters worse, shortly after being woken up by construction noises, the smoke detector above the bed suddenly went off scaring me half to death. After running around the floor in our underwear, we realized that only our room had the smoke detector going off and there was in fact no fire. We went back to room and expected the alarm to stop, but it wouldn't. So my boyfriend jumped on top of the bed and pulled the smoke detector down from the ceiling in order to remove he battery. As he did so, water started pouring from the ceiling and leaked all over the bed and now we realized just why only OUR room's detector went off. There was a leak from the pipes in the ceiling that interfered with the electrical components in the smoke detector unit. To add insult to injury, when we called up the front desk and informed them of the massive leak, we were told maintenance crews would fix the problem while we ate out breakfast. Umm...hello? Shouldn't you offer us another room? Am I expecting too much here? I think not!
Now at 8:10 am, on my vacation, I packed my bags and went to the front desk to check out. I told the receptionist how unhappy I was with everything and she told me, "Fine. You can check out now, but you will still be charged for a 2 night stay." What?! After this, we asked for a manager. She returned after a few minutes alone, and said "OK. We won't charge you for the second night. Do you still need the manager?" I just started laughing at her.
Overall, VERY unprofessional service, unclean and unsanitary pool with garbage floating in it, $20 per night valet parking, and very noisy construction. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!
