Expired fire extinguisher!!!

The in-room fire extinguisher was last serviced in 2019!!! 5 years ago!!! They are required by law to service them yearly. The kitchen suite floor was not washed. Something was spilled on it and it was sticky when walked on. No extra blankets or pillows. I think they thought we would steal them so they reluctantly gave us a few extras.

We had no heat! They had a problem with people having the heat on and the air conditioning. So they shut off the heat and had a space heater in there instead. But it was in the closet not plugged in and running. Since we didnt get there till 1030pm we didn't know, so we had no heat till we talked to someone in the morning. Then we plugged the space heater in the bathroom and it took 1.5 hours to warm up just the bathroom enough to have a shower. In the bedroom we kept our coats on to watch tv. The staff was nice and tried to accommodate but that was a BIG inconvenience since it was only 3 degree outside. The place was clean and had the fridge and microwave but no coffee

Found in a good central location, easy to find, lots of parking options. A little play structure is located outside good for younger children. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of our room. Easy check in and easy check out. Staff were friendly. Sufficient for a one night stay.

I have never seen an inn so dirty in my life. The advertisement is misleading. We got there past midnight, there is no receptionist waiting. I had to ring the doorbell. Got the key, drove to the room, the door was so difficult to open. When the door opened, the stench and muskiness of the room just hits us. The mini-fridge door was flung open, unplugged, cobwebs on the windows, dead bug on the floor. It was so unreal, it felt like I was in the middle of a nightmare. We booted out of there. This inn shouldn't even be listed for rental. Disgusting! I shiver evertime I think about that place. It was a nightmare!
