Excellent stay

The front desk employee was exceptionally kind and professional. He greeted us warmly and seemed genuine in serving us. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Complimentary bottled water and 24/7 coffee and tea was a nice perk. The hotel was also in a convenient location - just down the road from several restaurants and shopping areas. This place exceeded our expectations, especially for the price.

This antiquated property would benefit from a deep clean and additional staffing. Rust on the handrails for the pool and hot tub, the pool area only had 5 of the 12 lightbulbs lit when we went in the evening, (and the pool had clouds of floating debris that needed vacuuming). At breakfast the powder eggs were overcooked, all bagels, bread and muffins were stale, and they were out of waffle batter and coffee with not attempt to refill either. The bed was comfortable, which was the only redeeming aspect of our overnight stay.

The stay was prefect but I would never book through Expedia EVER again! They charging card 5 weeks before I went to my hotel. I’m 55 years old I’m never ever had that happen before. I have always been charged when I stay at my hotel not 5 weeks before. I called and tried to talk to rep and they did not care at all.
