Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was ok. A little dirty and damaged. Beds were too soft and the frame was larger than the mattress, which my wife and I both hit our shins on multiple times. The TV was not set, so we had to do that before we could watch anything. The lobby/office used to have coffee and treats, but I was told was eliminated during Covid. Then, the guests in the room next door were dropping bottles, playing loud music, and loudly yelling and having relations until 4am. We tried to complain or move, but the office was closed and Hotels.com couldn’t reach anyone either. We left multiple messages without a response. Also, the smoke alarm was missing in our room which made us uneasy. Terrible experience in every way. Would not recommend staying here unless there are no other options.

We’d booked at a similar hotel but messed up so ended up at this hotel. It’s very unique, didn’t charge for our chihuahua. Nice staff provided brand new remote. Huge TV. Didn’t hear other guests at all. Chill place!

The amenities such as shampoo and body wash was not filled and appears shampoo was filled with dishwashing liquid. The sheets had stains on it. Smoke detector going off middle of night . Advertised 24 hr staff. Called and no one answered with phone just ringing. Went to office to ring bell and was standing there for 10 minutes with staff outside taking smoke break. Check out was horrible as it looked as though they were napping at 10:30 am
