good stay, one issue

We had issue with gnats probably caused by a previous guest having fruit in the room. we should have said something immediately but we were tired and didn't want to bother. in the morning we told the manager and he apologized and graciously compensated us for the inconvenience. An excellent way to run a business!

This has been by far the worst hotel i have ever stayed at. The smell of pine sol and bleach was terrible hurt my nose and throat. The bed uncomfortable and loud, everytime i readjusted it squeaked. Sounded like aluminum sheets. The walls thin as paper. There is nothing around there, no dining nor shopping. It seems like it's a long term hotel. Please stay away the reviews it has must be fake. This will definitely go on my never again list
