Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was filty. It smelled so moldy we all had headaches. First day we thought maybe travel caused the headaches. By the second night after I looked into the ac/heating unit, I knew it was the motel- black insideand I have pictures to prove it. Besides that, hair on linens, dirty bathroom and floor. I requested a full refund, but the hotel would only refund the unused days. DO NOT BE FOOLED by the excellent reviews- it is not! I will continue to persue getting my full refund. My mother has health issues and it could have been really bad if we had stayed there the full week.

Room was gross and smelled horrible. The shower had dirty shoe prints in it. Asked to be changed rooms and they said they didn’t have another one available. Didn’t even apologize about the room until I asked for a refund and had to go find another hotel last minute.

The hotel was clean and staff friendly. Stayed in a suite with kitchenette but there was no table and chairs to sit, so we had to sit and eat on the bed. The water pressure in the bathroom was terrible. They offered continental breakfast which was good.
