Heater wasn’t working and neither were the jets on the hot tub. There were two small black bugs that were alive on the top sheet when I pulled the comforter off of the bed. Only stayed for two hours and decided to leave. Talked to an employee that evening about the things not working in the room and she said she’d note the account to have the manager refund the stay the next morning. Never got a refund cause the manager claimed to hotels.com staff through whom I booked the room that I never said anything to the staff about my issues with the cruddy room.

Tracy was the employee working behind the counter the night of January 3rd between the hours of 5pm and 6:30pm that evening, when I walked in the doors of your establishment to check in that evening. When I walked up to the counter and found your employee sleeping and the only way I got her attention was to call the house phone.

This is an older hotel and I knew that when I booked it. I was looking for the cheapest room in town. The room and bathroom were clean although room seemed smaller than in pictures. Access to the hotel is kind of difficult at night because there are no lights around. Breakfast area is small and outdated. We didn’t eat because we didn’t like anything that was offered. I only had had an orange juice and it was good. Staff was nice. Considering everything under same circumstances I would stay again because I just needed a clean and cheap place to stay.
