Overall ok again for the price.

For the price nothing to complaint. Old hotel but fairly clean. Old mattress but I’ve seen worse. Included breakfast wasn’t good, some of my tater tots were still frozen. I don’t expect too much about a good breakfast for the price I paid but a good coffee to start is a must which I didn’t get, it wasn’t good at all.

The room appeared fine to begin with. My husband found hair on the towels in the bathroom. He then awoken to something crawling on him in the middle of the night. We checked the sheet and found a bed bug. We immediately took a picture and flushed it down the toilet. We notified the front desk, who said that she would have her manager contact me. I still haven’t heard from anyone. I sent a message to the hotel through Expedia and tried calling.

Communication missing

We waited over 15 minutes to be checked in. Clerk was on the phone. No other help available. We had 2 hardshelled bugs in the bathroom. Housekeeping did not come to clean for the 2nd day. Checkout was also slow as the clerk had to set out breakfast; make coffee and clean up the serving area. Apologies were made but too little help and too late to address the issues.
