I slept well but the bathroom was not very clean, the TV did not work, and there was no hot water in either room we booked. As an fyi for future travelers, I was told at the desk that Expedia was not working for payment and I needed to book at their walk-in rate therefore we had to pay more. Expedia did refund my money but this felt like a bit of a bait and switch. Very kind front desk woman refunded our taxes and took $20 off bill in the morning at check out.

The room had an odor. There was NO shade or curtain to cover window. Only had shear panels. They also charged a $25 incidental fee upon checking in, we had no notice prior. Which after 12 days still has not been returned to my bank.
We book on a website the week before our visit. Once a year we go to my girlfriend's home for a large gathering of family and friends. And because it's a 2 hour drive each way we decided to stay the night and not drive back after partying 🙃
Next time we will not stay here!

There is no hot water!! You ask for a bed and a hot shower and you get the cheapest possible cot and when you turn the “hot” water on, it dribbles out so slowly it’s impossible to shower with. A nice little money saving operation by the corporate hotel. Go elsewhere down the road for cheaper AND you can actually shower. HORRIBLE.

Hotel smelled. May have been flooded. Rooms carpet, furniture. Dirty and unkept. The owners of this asset do no care. Location poor for food. Drive on by.
