Nice hotel staff

My 2 adult children and I drove to the Shelby area for a funeral. It was an 8 hour drive. The hotel staff was amazing and let us check into our room early. We arrived on Friday and left Sunday. The only issues we had were due to no fault of the hotel or staff. A guest apparently booked several rooms and had a child's birthday party in the indoor pool area. Due to the volume of parents and children, we were unable to enjoy the pool area which was disappointing. Friday was not the issue but the pool was completely full all day and into the night on Saturday. Also due to having a full hotel over the weekend, no breakfast was available.

Two floors and no elevator is not a normal situation as travellers often carry big suitcases. Carpets in rooms are not ideal and hopefully will be removed at next round of renovation. Way too expensive. It is taking advantage of little competition in the sector.

Only reason to stay here is if visiting GWU. They take your CC for incidentals and there is no services offered at hotel. Hairdryer caught fire and they offered no apology when the manager came in. Night team did show some compassion. I took the hairdryer down stairs. I think it was already faulty because it was un plugged. Needed to sleep with windows open because of the fumes. No screens in windows so glad nothing flew in.
