No mention of having no hot water. It is ok to not have hot water but it should be very clear when booking. I also hold Hotels.com responsible for this issue.
They have a gs stove that not functional due to no pots and pans.
No hot water. Very clean though.
Pretty comfortable bed. Clean room. Very good ac

The staff was really nice. Breakfast was amazing ! My only con was the noise level the hotel is on the main road so you can hear when big trucks are passing by.

I have stayed at this hotel before and loved my stay that is why I rebooked it. Upon arrival I had to ask for extra towel only one was in the room. Had to ask for toilet paper there was none in the room nor toiletries. The sheets were stained it looked as if the room was not properly cleaned. I was disappointed with my stay at the hotel this time.

Okay. Here’s the deal here. This property is on a busy highway so it can get noisy. I booked for two rooms with queen beds, they were not. We also stayed for multiple nights hoping to get a turndown service, did not. Perhaps the most disappointing thing was that we had an early morning flight and had to leave very early and there was not a single staff member present. All the lights were off and gates closed. We were forced to write a note and leave our keys. The place is cute, has parking, and breakfast was amazing, but honestly, the fact that no one was working when we needed to check out really rattled me. We knocked on multiple employee doors, and sent various messages. I even left my kindle, messaged if there was anything they could do, didn’t hear A THING. I will not return.
