Staff is very polite, appears only a "couple" runs and operates the hotel; however, they must be overwhelmed with such a large facility. The headboard did fall off the wall in the middle of the night and strike my husband's head. We informed the hotel's management. We were never asked if he was injured or the possibility of compensation, but we were heading to my mom's funeral, so we just moved on. We were also not overly impressed with the breakfast freshness, but we always understand the difficulty.

Horrible stay !

The guy at the front desk was rude. Snipped when I said we have a service dog. No sheets were changed , no shampoo enough for me or my kid or husband. Coffee maker had a coffee bag left in it and an empty beer can in the room. It was freezing walking in the hallways. And the owner parked in the handicap parking when we needed the front one for our daughter. No sticker on plate or a hanging handy cap sign. Breakfast was a joke. And charged me way more than they advertised to me.

We arrived really late and last minute. Check-in was quick. The room was cold, especially the bathroom. Turned up the temperature, and it was really hot. No reasonable middle temp. The hot tub was closed, and the water was yellow. The pool was okay. The breakfast was not the best. Very limited to a few carb items, but you get what you pay for. It fit what we needed, but definitely not the 8.2 rating that Expedia gave it.

Bummer

Staff was rude. All hallways and pool area was dirty. Hot tub was not working. Rugs were rolled on the edges and torn making it a trip hazard. No vending. Ice buckets very dirty.

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was disappointing. The check-in process was uncomfortable—after providing my driver’s license and credit card, the staff member returned my license but then made a phone call while holding my credit card, speaking in another language and looking at it for several minutes, which felt inappropriate. The lobby was dark with an unpleasant odor, and both the lobby and hallways were freezing. Amenities were lacking as the pool was extremely cold, and the hot tub was out of service. Upon entering the room, I noticed spills on the coffee table, a dirty bathroom counter, and what looked like vomit on the toilet front. The bedding also appeared very worn. Additionally, the lamps were outdated and didn’t allow room for charging blocks to be plugged in, and there were no USB or USB-C outlets available. The breakfast was also pretty skimpy. With some attention to these details, this hotel could provide a much better experience for guests.

Nice clean hotel, stayed here 3 nights during a hunting trip with the kids. The standard room was very clean and big, more than plenty of room for our coolers and extra luggage. Fridge, microwave, & huge parking lot. Only cons - breakfast wasnt much (didn't need it anyways brought our own) & hot tub/pool room was out of commission
