Some aspects of the hotel were excellent others not so good. Our room was not cleaned the entire time we were there which was 6 days, and had not been cleaned well before we checked in. There was a hyperdermic needle in our chair ( had the front desk immediately remove the chair) also found someones underwear behind the trash can when I took my own trash out. On the plus side the breakfast was good each day, the front desk crew was excellent, I had two dogs with me ,and unlike another nearby hotel I felt fairly comfortable walking the dogs.

I wouldn’t stay here again if I could afford to stay somewhere else. Comforter was stained. Bathrooms were redone though. Rest of it’s pretty old. But it’s passable if you need somewhere to stay.

It served its purpose which was a cheap place to sleep. A bad storm rolled through and knocked out power to half the town including this property. The doors opened and the water was running, but I think the storm blew out all of the light bulbs that were on during the storm. This was no fault of the property, but I wasn’t offered any refunds or amenities and noone checked up on me.

Hotel -> halfway housing?

I thought I was staying at a hotel. This location seemed to a home for some people down on their luck. There was a lot of updating and maintenance that needs to be done. I was there for a dog show. When I checked in, no word was mentioned about an extra fee. The second day I had pounding on my door and a gruff man stating that I will be charged $200 for having dogs. I felt spied on and accused of doing something wrong when it was their responsibility to address this at check in.
Filth!! Vent laid against the wall all 4 days I was there. Seeing the filth in the air duct was gross!

My room was disgustingly dirty and had old dog treats under the chair and dog hair on the floor. There was also wet spots on the carpet and splashed gross unidentified substance on the bottom of the bed. Absolutely disgusting. And all the front desk offered me was to make a note that I wasn’t the one that made the room dirty. Unexceptionable and disgusting. 0 out of 10 rating!!!!!!! Front desk extremely not helpful as well. This property should be ashamed!

Money grab

Up until the power went out due to storms that came through thursday night they were accommodating. I booked my room online and was told they wouldn't refund my money for the remainder of my stay due to me booking online. I stayed in a room with no power or hot water for 4 days. Asked for a partial refund seeing I had to stay! Was informed that they would talk to the manager! Apparently they are still talking about it as i have not heard anything more. The sheets and comforter were stained yellow in certain spots. Rooms were not vacumed as there was dirt/ mud chunks throughout. I would not recomend or stay at this establishment again!

Terrible stay

Worst trip I’ve had in a long time. The room was okay, bed was comfortable but there were stains on the sheets. During our 4 night stay, hotel staff only came by once to see if we wanted trash emptied or new towel, etc. The second night of our stay there was a crazy storm and the hotel lost power, but the next morning most of the rooms had working lights and electrical outlets, our room did not. We asked to switch to a room that had partial electricity but the hotel staff said they could not switch our room. We had to charge our devices in the rental car. The hotel had no hot water, no continental breakfast, no spa, and lacking quite a few amenities that were advertised on the property details.

Very clean!

Clean room, comfortable bed, plenty of towels, pillows, shampoo, etc. The only complaint is that the bathrooms shower curtain was missing. The commode was daycare center size, no joke this thing was small! No grab bars to help you up. I don't remember any grab bars on the tub. I'm sure I could have asked for a shower curtain. When I'm in a room I just wanna relax not make calls or walk to the desk.
