My family and I stayed at the Sleepy Hollow Hotel in *********, ** for 2 nights (8/4-8/6) and had the worst hotel experience of our lives. We booked 3 similar hotel rooms - two were appx. $550 and one appears to be overcharged at $795 with tax. We faced a multitude of problems while staying there, such as: rooms being overbooked and not ready at check-in (despite it being past 5pm), receiving the wrong/downgraded room, chaotic housekeeping services, filthy hallways with trash/linen outside of every room all day including when we checked in during the evening, rooms reeking of smoke (the website did not indicate rooms were smoke-free, so this appears to be accepted there), rooms that were moldy, no hot water for showering (this occurred both days, after they said they would fix it), bugs in the rooms, stained carpets, old/fake furniture that hasn't been replaced in decades, food and crumbs strewn throughout the hallway, unruly guests who were up until all hours of the night screaming and interrupting our sleep past midnight, the bar being closed, the restaurant being occupied for the only meal they offered (breakfast), no ice, old linens, a patio w/o patio furniture to sit, and a rude/dismissive hotel staff on top of it all who had no desire or power to address these problems. At one point the front desk staff actually HUNG UP ON US when we called to let them know their guests were still screaming outside of our room after they told us they'd send security (and never did). The place was completely disgusting and not a healthy environment for guests, especially for the prices charged. I'm sure it is in violation of many codes if someone were to do an inspection at the property. We would like all of our money back. You could not pay me to stay there and no one should be subject to these conditions.Business response
