They gave away my room that I made reservations for months ago -we had 4 ppl and they wanted to put us in a room with one bed We were there for competition The other mother and her daughter complained the room stunk so they moved them into MY room with 2 queen beds and gave me the stinky one with one bed!! They called next door and put half the party in a “motel” next door and told me compensation was that I didn’t have to pay for that room!! I asked for 50% off the cost of the room that smelled but they refused and told me 20% and that was all Eggs were cold as ice Previous stay was wonderful This one was a nightmare!!!!!

The room was fine. It was clean and housekeeping came in daily to make the beds and replace your towels. What could be improved is the breakfast! It opened at 6, they had sausage, potatoes and eggs in those roaster type pans. At 6 all of it was still frozen in those pans

Beds were hard, pillows were lumpy, no access to luggage carts, eggs were frozen, had to ask front desk for pool towels both days, when asking for sheets for the pull out we were told they don’t have extra sheets/blankets for those even though they advertised rooms that slept six people. When asking for shower towels, we were told we had to wait until 6am the next morning

The room and hotel were fine. However what ruined it was the neighbors smoking weed and cigarettes in the room. It kept seeping into our room. the manager was unwilling to stop the address the issue with the occupants. We asked to switch rooms, which was accommodated. It was just inconvenient to move.

The room was spacious, cool, and the heat worked. The shower one time I used it had very luke warm water, the microwave had a turn style inside it but would not turn. The phone in the room was not even connected with a wire so it could not be used to call the front desk if I needed it, which I did to report someone leaving a dog in the room next to mine whining and howling and scratching at the door for hours, until the owner came back. I reported the issue to the front desk and they said they would look into it but it continued, before I left I spoke to the front desk and discussed many issues with them and they said to leave a review. They have a worn out building (cracks in the ceiling in the dining area) The mirror was falling off the wall in the room, there was no cord for the telephone, dogs would bark early in the morning around 4 am while being walked down the hall, this happened twice on two different mornings. When I mentioned these items the staff just told me to leave a review, so they could learn from these things. I would not stay there again.

The rooms were abnormally hot and humid, in the dead of winter. I have had my thermostat set to 60 for 28 hours. Kids can’t sleep, I feel like I’m hiking in the swamps of Louisiana. I’d bet this hotel doesn’t see an influx of reservations until there’s a function at the Expo center. DO NOT stay here for convenience ~ it’s not if you have exhausted kids. Cleanliness is also lacking. There is mold everywhere in the bathroom. The rooms smell like mold and burning wire.

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to a homeless person. It was absolutely disgusting, wreaked of cigarette smoke. Our door wouldn’t latch and we left after being in our room for 10 minutes. 0 out of 10 stars.

Asked for a room above first floor for safety reasons and was given a first floor room. We offered to pay extra for a second or third floor and were told the room was already paid for and they couldn’t change it even though the hotel was not full. When we entered the room we found that the latch lock was broken so we couldn’t effectively lock the room. We were finally given a second floor room. Upon entering we noticed electrical outlets pulled away from walls, a plastic bag covering the smoke detector, 3 light switch plates not secured to the wall, a light fixture pulling out the ceiling and 2 reading lights that didn’t work. Very disappointing after an 8 hour drive. This hotel definitely needs updates and TLC. Will never stay here again!!!
