We got the feeling it was an older building. The shower in our room only gave very hot water no matter where you turned the handle. No towels replacement, but we did notice that at other places if more than a one night stay.

We were in town for a baseball tournament. The hotel was in close proximity to the baseball fields. The breakfast was well stocked and fresh each morning. The pool was awesome. The first night was a little crazy with kids and adults running in and out of the open pool windows. We were not given any large towels for the bathroom. This was not noticed until I was through with my shower, in which at that point, I just used one of pour beach towels that I had brought for pool time.

When I walked in, Christie was overwhelmed (because the cleaning crew had quit, and she had to call in a girl off her vacation to come help clean the rooms to get them ready for the next guests. She was stressed for obvious reasons but handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. The people who came to help (who didn’t even work there, deserves a lot more than a thank you. The employees that still work there deserve major bonuses and acknowledgements from the upper management. Treat your workers better, and you will have more of them.
