The view from the room is incredible, room was clean, but we had three grandkids with us, and the tv had 3 PBS channels, im sure I could’ve went to the office to find out why, but it was 2:00 am, and I was too tired for the hassle, bathroom has a very small toilet and needs painting, it’s peeling all over, was convenient on and off the highway, and the price was right for a few hours of sleep on a long drive,,

Got bug bites (still hoping it wasn’t bed bugs), the bathroom door was hanging on by one hinge, the little fridge needed cleaned (there was an old ice pack in there), the continental breakfast was hardly there & we had to call the front desk clerk to check in, plus we had to drop our key card in a box on the desk. No one was in there again. We did see a big wasp nest outside of neighboring room. The cleaning lady did stop to see if we needed anything. 👍

The room was clean and the bed was good. However, there were no cups of any kind provided. I went to the office to ask for some, and NO ONE was on duty. No one was in the office building. The only toiletries provide were two postage stamp sized soap bars. The towels were paper thin and felt like sandpaper. An argument occurred in the parking lot late at night, and no one intervened.

Very poor condition

There was very limited breakfast every day. No sausages, gravy, eggs, juices and very little coffee. The pool was closed with green water and the weight room was closed with construction tools.

Sink looked it hadn't been cleaned, like someone dumped a full coffee filter down the drain. TV signal had a lot of interference and tv had no HDMI port. Breakfast was sparse and stale at 6:30am (available 6-9am). Ice machine was a countertop unit on the breakfast line. No vending machine. Bed was comfy though. Good toiletry quality.

I had already been 1 week before in this hotel to use it as a half -destination stop. The experience was very good. There were not many people at the hotel and there was no noise. They say in the hotel promotion they offer breakfast but it is very limited. It is more than a quick and go. Upon returning home I stopped to spend the night as a midpoint of destination. I chose the same room again. The front desk attendance that attended me was very kind. The room was clean again but noticed a strange smell but did not give importance. As at 9pm when I open the bathroom door I felt a smell of strong marijuana smoke that came out through the ventilation duct of the bathroom. I know the hotel has no control of that but thanks to the situation my stay was not the best as in the previous occasion.
