Upon arrival, there was a power outage. I entered the lobby by prying open the front doors. There were no signs posted on the front door or anyone at the desk. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to guide my walk to the front desk. Again, no attempt to have flashlights or other battery operated devices available to assist guests upon arrival. At the front desk, I had to yell ‘hello’ to get assistance. I was given a key and, again, had to walk down a dark hallway using the wall as a guide and my phone flashlight as a guide. I dropped everything into my room, could hear a dog barking in the room beside me, but I left for a few hours. Upon my return, the facility was still without power and was even darker now given the time in the evening. I used my flashlight on phone to navigate to my room, attempted to locate another room but due to poor wireless coverage I couldn’t complete the search. I retrieved my belongings and made my way to the front desk. Again, I had to yell for assistance. I left and made my way to a neighboring town and another affiliate of the hotel chain. While I understand we don’t control the weather, the risk and mitigation efforts at this hotel were high. There was no attempt at all to ensure guests were safe while the electricity was out. It was literally placed on the guest to remain safe.
