Good enough

It was a good place to stay. Breakfast could have had a few more choices. I selected to pay cash at hotel when I reserved, but found out that when I got there an extra $100 would be required as a deposit. My credit card was on file,so I didn’t feel the extra cash was necessary. It kind of messed up our plans to have to change tyebwaybwe paid for our stay.

Hi there! This has been a fine stay otherwise, but I wanted to note that our room bathroom was very stinky when we arrived. It smells like sulfur/sewage. None of us has gone to the bathroom to make it this way. But the time we noticed (we were all unpacked with our luggage by the time we realized it; the bathroom door was closed and locked when we arrived - odd), we didn’t want to trade rooms because we would have to re-pack everything. Just wanted to make note of it.
