This hotel needs an overhaul.

Check in was very brief which was okay. Parking was okay and safe. The room had a view of a shipping container. The heater was super loud and kicked on loudly and shut off like it wouldn’t restart. It drowned out the tv and woke us up all throughout the night. When the heater wasn’t kicking on there was a horse walking around above us most of the night. The bed was creaky, uncomfortable with an uphill lump down the center. The tile floor was sticky and parts of the carpet were sticky and dirty. Breakfast was ok- except for the honey was old and grainy and the oatmeal was a brick. Not the quality for the price per night that was expected..

Pool Bummer

It was a good hotel. The major bummer was how cold it was in the indoor pool area. The water wasn’t too bad, but the actually room itself was freezing. Granted it was really cold outside, but one of the main reasons we got the room was to be able to swim in the pool and the kids only lasted 40 minutes before it got way too cold for them to stay in. Other than that it was a nice, clean hotel with a great room and good breakfast.
