There was mold in the bathroon, an unused urine collection cup next to the microwave, the bathroom sink leaked, stains on towels and bedding, the lobby door didnt slide open and had to be pushed in order to be used, staff knocked at 6 am and woke us up to ask about a chair in our room, then again at 9 to see if we were checking out, check out is at 11, no smoke detector in the room, but the hall ones were beeping all night.

Staff didn’t give us any details about breakfast or the pool etc. Phone and clock were broken. Breakfast was bread and butter and apples. Shower was dripping all night. Hotel is renovating so pool was close and place was a mess. Couch had holes in the cushions

Dissatisfied Stay

Our room was surprisingly unclean. Mold grew on the bathroom ceiling from lack of ventilation. Hair covered every part of the toilet,the rest of the room was clearly not dusted in a while and only 1 of our tvs worked. The bedding seemed to be the only clean part of the room. This was our second stay at this hotel for our annual family trip. Last year was a good stay. To come back this year and witness such a deline in quality was unfortunate. The pool, arcade and gym were all closed. The breakfast was 'grab and go' but my kids didn't even want to eat it. Where last time there were more and better options.

The hotel was a little off the beaten path but it wasn’t too crowded and the room we stayed in was very nice it was a two room suite and very quiet and clean we have stayed in many other high end hotels that were nowhere as nice as this one for half the price

Expedia misadvertised. The listing said there's a pool and exercise room. Technically there are, BUT THEY'RE permanently CLOSED. The property apparently used to be a Best Western and has transitioned to Rodeway, which has closed the pool, the fitness room, the snack shop, the bar, the ice machines, and everything else they could. There were Keurig in the rooms but no coffee pods because the clerk said they no longer provide them. Yet they left the machines in the rooms!!! Even the drinking fountain in the lobby is closed. Breakfast was white bread, bagels, butter, and jam plus some dry cereal and tiny muffins. Very sad. Our rooms seemed clean except the carpet, which was filthy and turned white socks black. The only redeeming qualities wer the beds being quite comfortable and the linens decent. Expedia owes me a refund for MIS advertising.

Atrived at 9pm for a 3pm check-in. She was rude. Told us the room was not clean and not ready. When asked if she received the reservation (from 3 weeks ahead) - she said yes but made zero apologies for having to sit in the lobby while they cleaned the room that was supposed to be ready at 3pm. Cleaning lady was very kind, apologized and stayed to make sure we were okay. The electronic keys provided did not work - for a room 3 doors down.Deadbolt did not function so had to put suitcases against the door since we were not sure if someone else would have keys to our door. The light over couch bed was motion activated - NO WAY TO DISABLE IT! the whole night one of us turned in bed it would turn on! Mold on the celing...really NEVER AGAIN! THE ABSOLUTE WORSE HOTEL WE STAYED IN USA.
