After having the most unprofessional and painful experience from the nearby La Quinta Inn and Google redirecting me to a third party booking source who took advantage of us this hotel really turned our unfortunate night around. They worked hard to ensure we got a nice room and the breakfast was surprisingly good. When your tired and have traveled all day and encounter such an event, It leaves a impression on a person. Im glad we came here and the gentleman behind the desk in the evening worked hard to not only retrieve a hung reservation but ensured my family could finally unwind and rest. Thank you all for taking care of us. Any traveler with pets should stop here! We will book here anytime we travel in this region again.

So the hotel itself was pretty nice honestly. The clerk working the night of December 30th was very nice and gave me an upgrade! My only issue was the cleanliness of the room. I attached a photo but someone had thrown a dip pouch against the wall in the room and it was left there, that was kinda gross…

1. Cleaning service sub-par. Didn't clean sinks at all. Mud covered hallway rug stayed that way over 24 hours.
2. 2:30 AM, Howling dogs...inconsiderate guest left dogs alone. Unable to intervene, unwilling to call police with noise complaint.
3. Front desk clerks have no power to take care of issues or make things right. Unwilling to 'listen to your problems '. Apparently they're too busy to deal with you. All they can do is hand you a managers business card with barely an apology.
4. Full breakfast, except if oven broken (which it was). Toaster broken, too
5. Plumbing issues, I experienced both constant running toilet and a sink that didn't drain.
6. Inadequate towel service.
7. Internet drops clients every 5 minutes (like clockwork).
Would not stay again
