I was traveling in for an afternoon event and called days in advance to see if early check in was possible so I could dress in the room. Over the phone I was told it wouldn’t be an issue, and while they couldn’t guarantee in advance, that they would make a note in my reservation and if something came up, there would at least be a space on the property where I could dress and drop my bags. When I arrived and asked politely about early check in, I was treated so rudely by the front desk staff. It was frankly the rudest I’ve ever been treated by a hospitality staffer. I was not allowed to finish a sentence, and was told under no condition could I check in, get dressed, or even drop my bag. I don’t mind not being able to accommodate a request, that is merely inconvenient, but the rudeness with which I was treated was completely unacceptable.

We booked thru Hotels.com. When we arrived we were told of a $150 hotel hold fee for damages.. NO WHERE ON HOTELS.com. Does it indicate this.. threw our budget out the window.. also the HOTTUB was not functioning and had not for months… that was not listed either. hotel staff not professional. sweat shirts and eating at front desk. It was like an upgraded Motel 6… they can leave the light off… NEVER BE BACK

It’s a no for me
Stayed because it was closer to my daughter place. There was a little banging here there, but went away. Nobody bothered us. But the room had a smell to it. The bed underneath the comforter was still dirty. Good thing we bought our own blankets and pillows. Lady at the front counter wasn’t rude, but wasn’t really Show hospitality. Well, I stay here again no, not at all. There was some stains on the wall as well. There was a hole from opening the door, but they had it covered with black tape. There was no extra lock for the door. The cooler look like it was gonna come off the wall. There was a bad odor we didn’t know where it was coming from. Needs to be updated for sure on everything.
Stains on the walls
Lamp covers were all messed up.
AC wall unit look like it was gonna fall off.

The room was not as advertised at all. Had a full bed instead of a queen, the AC unit had no knobs on it to adjust and it was unplugged. I had to plug it in to turn on and then no adjustments were possible. No screen on the window. Homeless looking man just hanging out in the parking lot. There was a very small TV but no cable hooked up even though there was a cable box. I tried to call the front desk but, surprise! the room phone didn't work either. We could not leave fast enough.

All amenities are broke or gone.
The staff was great. None of this is their fault. Could not find a room with working AC. There was several parties checking in at the same time. 2 of us were in the lobby trying to get another room because of this and another was on the phone. We were giving a box fan. Hot tub was still closed At this point. I feel like it’s deceptive to advertise a hot tub and ac. I travel for work and I am in about 70 different hotels over 200 nights a year. Roughly. The point of this is I have never seen ACs this old in a room. The knobs were removed with no wires going into the units. But there was newer wall controls. How they controlled them I have no idea. None of the ones we tried controlled anything on the unit. Strict signage about were you can eat breakfast but it’s only stale pastries and coffee. Which is pretty normal breakfast. But most places offering that don’t care if you leave with it or go up to your room with it.
