Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When we checked in we started with room #327 and after looking over the room the corner soap holders were dirty and the bathtub had rust on the bottom of it so we walked down to the front desk and he moved us to another room #311 and we had to have the heat up to 78 degrees cause of the cold coming through the window with it closed tight. Went to take a shower and the shower curtain is too long and someone can easily trip on it and hurt themselves and someone like me having a bad ankle I almost fell several times. The swimming pool definitely does not look like the pictures by far as the bottom of the pool has large cracks which could cause injuries and dirty

We got a great rate for a one night stay and the hotel was clean enough. The front desk clerk in the morning was rude. Breakfast was out at 6:15, even though it didn’t begin until 7. My son got a yogurt and the front desk clerk made him put it back. We were leaving at 6:30 but were unable to eat breakfast.

First, there was nobody in the parking lot, first sign something was off. Then I walk in and half the lights are off, an obvious money savings tactic. Then I get to the room, open the door and the firs thing I hear is the toilet running, then there is a stain on the bed sheets. Then the final nail was bed bugs when I checked out the bed. I immediately got my money back and went somewhere else.
Bed bugs.

The room was great and the staff were courteous. However the VFW Banquet that we attended could have been better. The brazed beef tips were tough, the potatoes were dry and something in the meal gave myself and my wife severe diarrhea for a full day afterwards!
