They overbooked our room despite making a reservations weeks in advance. They turned us away at check-in and it was a very busy night in the town so we were unable to find anything else in 30+ miles. The staff did not assist in any way. Also, there were bars in front of the check-in desk which should tell you what kind of place this is...

Upon entering the room the air was moist, we thought nothing of it at first. then the bed sheets were still damp and my employee's book pages started to curl not sure why it was like this, defiantly putting this on the list of hotels we will not be staying at again.

Despite high marks on this stay it’s important that management addresses the fact that there were no safety grab bars anywhere in or near the tub shower and only a plastic shower curtain to perhaps catch if you slipped on the extremely slick bath tub. They might save money in the long run using non slip ribbing on the tub surface as well as installing grab bars. So a fail in terms of handicapped accessibility in the bath area.

The breakfast was not that great, the aroma of the hotel was odd, and when we pulled out sheets back on the bed there were crumbs in the bed. The shower was also clogged with hair in the drain and sticker residue was in the shower. The toilet and bathroom were in a little like closet thing. Not much room to move around.
