Crippen Park

I liked that we were near the water and close to several restaurants with a variety of menus. I liked that it is a vintage property. The room was very unique. Furnishings & decor were from the 50's - 70's. The linens were clean, as was the bathroom. The sad part is that it is not well maintained. Several of the electrical outlets did not work and there were not very many of them. Thank goodness I travel with a wall wort that you can plug several things into. There was a horrible smell when we entered the elevator... it was disgusting! Our grandson is 17 and lives in a rural area of Nevada. He is familiar with rodent odors in storage buildings for yard maintenance tools. He confirmed it was the odor of rodents. And the final disaster was a broken suitcase! On checkout day we went to the elevator. We were on the 3rd floor and waited for at least 10 mins for the elevator. we called the office and no one answered. We had called for an Uber who by then was waiting for us. We finally took the narrow staircase to the lobby, but in the process of descending the stairs, the suitcase handle was broken!!! Making it very difficult to handle for the remaining week of our trip. When we finally got to the lobby someone was holding the door and ignoring the call to allow the elevator to ascend. It was a sad and frustrating ending to a very interesting stay at a unique place.

Check-in was clunky. No manager on duty when posted hours were not observed. Nice suite, difficult garage to manuever. You kinds have to figure it out on your own. Fortunately we did and was otherwise a nice stay!

I would have rated perfectly however was a small issue with one of the staff. But everyone else was lovely
