Great stop to stay for the night while passing through. Clean rooms and bathrooms, decent breakfast. The lady maintaining breakfast seemed easily overwhelmed with it all and couldn’t keep up with breakfast for people. That was the only downside was her seeming exasperated with the whole breakfast duty but the hotel was clean and front desk was nice and helpful. I’d stay again.

Because the property allows pets- the day I was checking out. I saw the elderly lady that works in the kitchen -outside petting the stray cat. She came back into the building and begin wiping down tables without washing her hands. I saw her also go into the area where you get your food and begin wiping down in there as well without washing her hands. I mentioned it to her peer that was in the kitchen as well and asked her to please ask the elderly lady to wash her hands. She said she would.. by this time I was grossed out so bad that I would not continue to have my breakfast- as I was sitting there drinking coffee I saw another person with a pet a dog come in to get coffee, the same elderly lady bends down and played with the dog by rubbing its coat. She gets up and continues to clean the dining area. I don’t think it’s anything wrong with the staff, loving all pets, but is definitely wrong that the staff that is handling food should not be touching strays or pets that are visitors in the hotel it’s not safe and it’s disgusting. I don’t think I will visit this particular hotel again because of this ladies lack of cleanliness. I did report it to the front desk, but the young lady did not seem too interested.
