I was completely uncomfortable staying another second there because of another guest staying there was watching us the entire time. He watch me and my daughters off load our vehicle and every time we came out of our room to get something from the car he’d stare at us. He was shirtless with tattoos all over his body. Even went as far as following us to the front desk. So I drove off and called the front. They were unable to refund me even though I explained what was going on. The front desk person just offered to walk me back to my room. Hopefully they will refund me however she told me they can’t then again offered to walk me to my room. That wouldn’t help me and my daughters if we were abducted. This is very sad.

Smoking in room below us traveled into our room 1 nite. Very heavy odor Smoker was gone the next day. Not sure if Hotel removed him or he checked out on his own. Staff did offer another room for next day but we declined as the odor disappeared the next day. They apologized, however a discount would have been nice. She said the next time, they will "take care of us", whatever that may mean. I just smile knowing that it was irrelevant as we would not be back. Wife bitten more than a dozen times more than likely by bedbugs, though she did not relize this until a few days later after check out.

A not very happy granny.

Everything seemed to go OK until the night before I left and at midnight, there was a lot of noise going on outside. And then when I checked out the clerk at the front desk, seem to get angry at me because I dropped the room key on the desk. Accused me of throwing it at her which I did not. Period she continued on about the whole thing even after I apologized to her. I am an older person, 81, and I feel that I was treated unnecessarily with disrespect.
