The entire hotel was being dehumidified with industrial fans and the noise was intolerable. The system for checking in was down and I needed to move to a private office and help the clerk with her iPad to help myself get checked in. The room was absolutely freezing cold, the pillows were tiny and you couldn't lay on your back and rest your entire head on them, and the showers were deficient and did not have consistent water pressure or temperature.

The hotel reminded me of a trap house motel from back home. There were broke down cars on jacks in the parking lot. The pool has been down for months. With no indication on the website that it was down. Would have never booked it if I would have know that. Over all it was quiet through the night. One of the outlets look sketchy to use. There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. No vent fan. The sink didn’t have a drain plug. And when we ran the water in the sink. The smell that came out of it was horrible. The vent that was in the wall at the top of the ceiling had gum in it. How does that even happen. Housekeeping never came for the second day to give us clean towels. But I guess you get what you pay for. If it would have been just myself and my spouse I wouldn’t have cared. But it was my daughter and I. I really didn’t feel safe. Since the outside lock didn’t work. Anyone had free access to just walk in the hotel from the backside. If you have kids. Stay somewhere else.

Walk into hotel and see that pool and hot tub are a messy construction zone. They said they would issue a 10% refund for mess and inconvenience of no hot tub and pool. Never did reimbuse me the 10%. Walk in room- kid you not - Absolutely no heat! They knew heater was broken in that room. Didn't do anything about it other than write an email to the manager and say sorry. So I get my emergency heater from work trailer to heat room myself. Okay - hot shower time- No Hot Water!!! Slept and left asap.

The staff was not very friendly and I talked to the same front desk worker multiple times and every time was the same. Our room was in the back hallway and there are not signs showing there is more rooms at the end of either hallway. The pool was closed which was a bummer but not a deal breaker. And there was an altercation where multiple cops showed up. I have stayed many times but this one was the worst of my experiences here.

The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. The website said breakfast was included however they had cancelled the breakfast service after we had registered. We were informed in the morning as we tried to enter breakfast room. The person at the front desk informed us and other guests with as much patience as she could. Bad management as they were not there to handle the situation.
