We showed up at the property at 2:45 PM and was scolded by rude staff telling us the check-in wasn’t until 3 PM and there would be a $50 early check-in fee if we needed to check in at 2:45 PM. I rolled my eyes and said well we’ll get in line with the rest of these people And the lady said whatever you want to do and walked away. The staff is extremely rude, when I accidentallyspilled water on the floor from a cooler later that evening, I went to find staff to ask for a towel, but couldn’t find anyone. I was told just leave. I was yelled at when I tried to find somebody to ask for a towel. Most of the staff does not speak English and could not understand what we were asking for. I will never go back to that hotel.

Clean, comfortable, nice staff, breakfast was excellent and bean to cup coffee was so good. The only problem was the air conditioner was very noisy and well not on the hotel but the highway noise was a bit much at time. I used ear plugs.

We booked a suite with a fold out sofa, but room did not have the sofa. We were given a roll out bed, but the bedding did not fit it. We were also not given spare bedding for the chaise couch. Under the coffee table was slimy, unknown crusty stain on the coffee table. Dirty floor on the bathroom, and no spare toilet paper. Staff lied to one visitor about breakfast item being out, then when more asked about it they suddenly made more.
