I had problems checking in, the staff were no helpful. I booked 2 nights, Room service woke us up 3 times on the first morning, key card stopped working. No garbage pail in the room. Paid a 500 deposit they said they would return on check out, they did not return it. Mark the man working the front desk said "we've reached out limit on returning deposits for the day, well mail you a check" I will not ever book with this location or company ever again.

Staff were friendly. Breakfast was ok. But. Room was not the cleanest. Old and dated. Hairs in beds and bathroom. No conditioner dody wash or lotion. Juat shampoo and a bar of soap..... disappointed in this because i flew in with no extras. The pool was to strong of chlorine so couldn't swim. Bummer. Wont stay again.

It was clean, and most of the staff were good. One would not allow us to switch a license plate number to park when we had to switch vehicles. Also, crazy strict over their free breakfast. Even though it is one of the smallest continental breakfast I’ve seen. My father forgot his ticket for breakfast at the hospital we were visiting, they would not let him eat without it, or pay extra. For a lower scale hotel, maybe try a little harder to keep your guests? Just a thought! We would have stayed another week, but the front desk guy was super rude when we asked about price.

The second night we went to bed a mouse came out of my wife's bed sheets and ran to the stove. I took video of it. I will be posting the video on my Google Hotel rating account.

The room was large with plank flooring, which I prefer. The couch and armchair were somewhat worn and needed a thorough vacuuming. The bed was on the hard side. Carpeting throughout building was disgustingly stained and dirty.
