Last minute stay. Was quite surprised when we arrived close to midnight, that there was a nightclub in the lobby. It was very loud during check-in. The room was average and parking wasn't the best. It was ok for a 1 night stay but definitely wouldn't stay here a week.

Arrived Thursday girl that greated me never made eye contact and was let’s say “dry” at best. Room was pleasant not dirty but out dated but for the price I will remain with it was pleasant. You have to be careful when going to Sandles Pub. While the young girls tending bar seemed nice they over charged our tab and would not listen to reason, figured we were out of towners and we had been there a bit so we didn’t have a leg to stand on. Problem was that I had not kept up with the other parties so I was very aware of what was happening., take away from this…. Pay attention visitors are taken advantage of.

Room was dirty, sinks were clogged, coffee maker had mold inside water tank and lid. Marks on bathroom wall looked like feces. Had to switch room on our 6th day of a 7 day stay. New room was dirty, cabinets swollen from water damage, paint peeling. Marijuana smell throughout hotel. Unable to use luggage cart on 6th day move due to bell hop stating they didn’t loan them out. Very disappointing for the money we spent and was charged.
