We asked for a first floor room or room near the elevator due to a medical condition. We were reserved a room on the 4th floor where we had to walk a long distance to get there. We had to walk down stairs from the parking lot which was not disability accessible. I would not stay here again.

Room was nice, beds good and water hot. They had coffee and hot chocolate available 24 hour. Staff was very nice. A/C not as good. Also, had $100 deposit that did not know about. Had a sign to read as was checking in. But, already committed to staying. If was listed but I didn’t read then my fault.

I loved the front deak ladies. My room wasnt thoroughly clean when we moved in. At breakfast, one of the staff workers threw away my cup that i had brought down from my room with me.. it was a personal cup not a room cup. I also ordered a king size suite online but upon checking in, i was given a queen size suite

So, nobody has it listed that hotels are now charging incidental fees or deposits on top of your booking. I haven't booked a hotel before this one in the last 5 years, so I wasn't aware of this. The pool is closed for maintenance until further notice which was one of the main reasons we booked this specific hotel was so we could swim before a busy day the following day. Breakfast was okay but on the way to breakfast, the ground floor hallway stank of weed which seemed to overtake the smell of breakfast. It wasn't the worst stay at a hotel I've ever had, but I honestly don't think we'll be staying here again unless it's an absolute emergency and the only place available.
