No phones in the rooms. The beds moved around because of the hardwood floors. There was no large waste basket in our room. Just a small one in the bath room. When i went by the front desk. There didnt seem to be anyone available. Took them 5 days for them to return my depsit. But moments to keep it.

The only thing in the Hotel that was clean was the sheets. I have never seen such filthy dirty carpet. And I mean dirty and I don’t think the hotel owned a vacuum. Paint peeling of ceiling and bathroom door. Toilet was dirty with ring around the bowl. The chair was dirty and had holes in it. Hotel was noisy. Parking lot muddy and dirty. In all my years that was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

First room had a running toilet, low bath water pressure, and fridge not only sounded like a fish tank, but froze my food on low temp. Second room had similar issues. Also my 2 queens were only doubles so we were switched to another room. This room had no quilt (just sheets). Sheets were stained. Hall rugs need replacement. Score 1-star.

The staff is FANTASTIC! They were very accommodating, smiling & made you feel welcome. The dog poop people left is awful & lazy. Unfortunately, it does need to be maintained. Now for corporate I’m not give a bad review for the staff for the conditions of property. Come spend some money & fix it up. You have a wonderful staff might help them love their job more.

Staff were great and even called me to let me know that they had lost heat in the part of the hotel where I'd booked a room, so they put me in an alternate (but not as nice) room. However, I was also told that I could get reimbursed for the room cost difference if I worked through Hotels.com. After attempting this and multiple phone calls, even Hotels.com has not gotten a response and I am out the extra money.

The bathroom shower rod was broken and every shower would flood the bathroom into a lake. The window was also cracked. The room temperature control did not work and the room was blasting heat all night. This room should be taken out of service and repaired before being made available again. We suffered in this room for three nights before finally asking the staff to switch us to another room. The staff was very nice and did switched us to a bigger room for the remainder of our stay at the hotel.
