Worst Hotel Stay EVER!

Room was fairly clean, door stuck every time you closed it, you had to shove it with your shoulder to open it every time. Front desk personnel slow a lack knowledge of simple request, I.e. Do not disturb hang tag.

Mediocre

While it was clean, there was no hair dryer, the complimentary breakfast was limited and the pillows were small. Second day there house keeping took all the towels but did not replace any of them. Went to the front desk and was given a stained bath towel but no others. Staff was friendly and helpful when asked.

The room was "clean", well as clean as it can be given the condition. However I was not fond of the bugs in the room, one type I don't know what it was, and earwigs on the pillows. I'd give zero stars if I could. The clerk was nice enough, but the check in process took over 20 minutes even with a reservation. He also informed me he can't authorize or issue a refund even as a result of bug infestations and the best he could do was put me in another room. I don’t know about you, but if I find bugs in my room, I won’t be staying in ANY room at that facility.

To start they gave me a key to somebody else’s room. People running around outside and partying from the sounds at 3:00 in the morning. At 8:00 am there was no breakfast left. Just drive a little further and the hotels are nicer.

Not a good stay

They messed up my reservation gave me a room that was already booked. They did give me another room. The maid was still cleaning it upon arrival. There was a few cockroaches. In the room there was coffee but no sugar no creamer. There was only a few spoke English and the breakfast was basically lacked coffee they only had decaf. No milk. Oh and also the door you had to slam because it was broken or off the hinges or something. The bed was lumpy and sank in certain spots. I was very disappointed 😢 with the hotel. I was going to get a drink before leaving the hotel and the lady ignored me so I left. I will not be staying there again.

Stopped Serving Breakfast An Hour Early

I opted for this hotel over a cheaper hotel because of the included breakfast, but at 8 (breakfast is served until 9) there was only a couple of pieces of bread and cereal with no milk. I had to grab breakfast defeating the purpose of choosing this hotel. The power button was jammed on the TV so I had to unplug it. Also, the faceplate for the shower knob was broken, so it took a couple of minutes to figure out how not to burn myself with the hot water. It was otherwise fine, but I'm frustrated that I could've gotten a cheaper and closer hotel.

Traffic noise was terrible in the evening. They touted free breakfast, however, it was very limited: three kinds of cereal (corn flakes, raisin bran, & oatmeal) 2% milk in a caraffe, plain yogurt, small blueberry muffins, bread for toast (smart balance butter substitute and jelly packets), plain bagels with plain cream cheese, I saw 2 tangerines and 2 bruised apples. Coffee with pump flavors of cream and various sweeteners. No hot items. No eggs. No bacon or sausage. No pancakes. Nothing impressive or even average in the way of food. The room door was damaged. The remote for the tv had no cover for the batteries (however it did work). No TV guide. There was a terrible chemical odor in the bathroom (smelled like the chemicals used in port-a-potties). Required $100 deposit on top of the room fee (supposed to be returned in a week or so). The only positive I can think of: Staff on the front desk and maids seemed friendly and nice. However, I could not recommend this place to anyone.

Nasty hotel

This hotel wasn’t as described and had hard beds and roachs all over the ceiling and bathroom floor. This was very uncomfortable for me and my family but after driving 13 plus hours to drop my daughter off at college this was the only option

The staff were very friendly and I appreciated that. However, I was surprised by the $100 security deposit that was required. It wasn't a problem for me, but it wasn't mentioned in the Expedia description. The property itself needs renovation. The bathroom door had a hole in it, the towel rack was pulled partially away from the wall, and the TV remote was taped together. One final negative. The breakfast was pitiful. Cereal, bagels, small muffins and coffee. I had a cup of coffee then went to McDonald's.
