Dirty non functional room

This hotel was awful. When I first went to the room, the key didn't work so I had to wait in a long line again for the key to be reprogrammed. Then when I entered the room I immediately found that the only trash can had a full chicken carcass in it so I notified the front desk agent. She said she would come get it when she finished checking everyone in but never came to do so. I then noticed that the bathtub was dirty, carpet was covered in white dog hair, the pillow had a bug on it, and the sink was completely stopped up. The AC also didn't work efficiently.

Great stay on our way home from vacation. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best and included made-to-order omelets. Hotel provides cookies and fresh popcorn in the lobby every night. Pool area was clean. There’s a separate kiddie pool, a large hot tub and a sauna. My disabled husband was able to use the hot tub, very accessible. Although it’s an older hotel, you can tell the owners care and keep the place in great condition. Only drawback for us is there was no comfortable chair in our room, only two straight back chairs. Our room was a handicap accessible one so that may be why. However, this wife-provider would have liked to relax a bit after a long day of driving.

The room was nice but the TV did not connect digitally and the only staff person on duty did not know how to fix it and could not offer us a different room. We had no TV during our entire stay. Also, the workout room was filled with tables and chairs and had no workout equipment.

Nice place to stay

We had a very nice one night stay at Fossil Creek. The staff was helpful and friendly. Good breakfast, with lady cooking eggs and omelets. Children really enjoyed pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.
