Lottie

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Likes: rate was reasonable; good quality towels/washcloths; good quality blanket on bed Dislikes: unprofessional behavior on part of female (Tina?) who supposedly help manage hotel - if you can call it that. April 1, I had to call Expedia twice as my key card would not open my hotel room door - by the time they did show up - she yelled at me "hey, hey, hey - over here" (she knew my name as I had already been a guest there a week. She spoke to me like I was a bad kid - told me to make sure I do not leave room in a mess - I told her I was not a messy person. Also the date of my check out - April 2, she was knocking on my door "to remind me I had to check out early due to plumber coming to fix water leak - I told her she did not need to knock on my door - I had used an alarm clock to wake up earlier. Upon checking in on March 25, I was charged an additional $20 on top of my total hotel room charges to cover processing fee for paying with a debit card. Why did he not inform me of this extra charge after I made my booking in the letter they sent me by e-mail? Also - there was a slot for a dead bolt lock but there was no chain to put into the slot to lock the deadbolt. Safety should be of utmost importance when staying in a hotel!! My first day at the hotel - March 26 - there was constant loud noise from a building close by - they were putting on a new roof. This continued all day. Tues-Fri nights - loud noise from upstairs.

Not sure where the negative reviews came from because, for the most part, it was an overall good experience. Pretty clean room and good tv. The only issue was minor and it was the key for the first couple tries of the door, but front desk fixed the issue. For the money, worth the stay. Very convenient to downtown.

The room was clean and comfortable, and a nice surprise was the new (and quiet) AC & Heat unit. The front desk attendant was courteous and helpful. It is an older property located well away from the main road traffic noise.
