Bobby

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We only stayed 1 day but we had no friendly welcome. 1st: we were asked if we had a reservation. They were not welcoming we got there. 2nd: I was asked 1st floor or second and I answered 1st. Not thinking i would get a handicap room. 3rd: It smelled musty. Thank goodness i brought a candle. 4th: We turned on the air because I was hot and ohhh boy it hasn't been turned on in a bit. Oh I forgot. 5th: They were booked full so we could only have 1 car. I met my husband there so i had 2 car so we had to park in a different parking place. Was not told we could only have 1 car. I will never stay here again. Who wants to spend 170 for a Sunday night and get what we got. I felt dirty even after I took a shower. The carpet needed cleaning Oh and the holder for the shower was broken. I haved stayed in different places but never here again.
