Shower curtains are hung wrong therefore opens up when you’re taking a shower, shower and sink drain in bathroom plugged, carpet was dirty with multiple things stuck to it, hard to use ironing board when pad on ironing board is not in place and you can’t tie it down, body wash, shampoo and conditioner dispensers and shower barely worked was difficult to get anything out of them. And nobody cares when you report two or three of these things. And no follow up since I was there for four nights. Tried to give this Hotel several chances over the last year and a half not coming back. But your Hotel won’t care anyways.

One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The room had a strong, unpleasant odor—like urine. There were no basic toiletries such as shampoo or body wash, and the towels smelled terrible. After staying there, my family developed eye allergies.

The room was great right next to breakfast. The best part for me is a bathtub with HOT water and a great breakfast! The magic pancake maker /conveyer belt was my favorite. The hotel is super quiet as well close to anywhere you need to go. My partner did make a slight comment about the local channel tv service being pixelated and grainy and unable to connect to any apps. I told him that didn’t matter as much as breakfast and the bathtub.
