remodeling happens

We got there and found out the hotel use under major remodeling. Lobby hallways had sheetrock and light dust throughout. Not a deal breaker because it is an improvement. Just unfortunate. very friendly staff and very comfortable beds. Also, very windy day and there was a howling through our window possibly part of the remodel.

Popped a molly I'm sweatin'

The stay itself was average there were a lot of hairs on the sheets in one of the beds. Bathroom was very clean tho. The front desk attendant was the worst part she was very friendly but was clearly on drugs. She was talking and grinding her jaw faster than rave kid on drum n bass night.

I requested a Handicap room .I got a room with a bar in the shower. Toilet was to low to the ground and very hard to get off and on for a Handicap person point of view. No handles around the toilet. No seat or hand held showet attachment in shower, so I could not take a shower.

On the road again!

The room was decent, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom sink was slow to drain and cold water flow from the faucet was minimal. Also, the room heater temp-control doesn't function correctly - I had it down to 62 and it kept cycling on no matter the setting. These are all minor items, but yet somewhat annoying...
