You get what you pay for

This is my first Christmas since my separation from my kids mom and I wanted to take my kids to a hotel with a pool and i got what i paid for. This was the cheapest option in a 50 mi or so radius. Yes, they have an indoor pool, the pool room temp was probably 60. The pool was mildly warmer but definitely not warm. My son started chattering in 20 min but his lips werent blue so we kept playing. I let them know that night that we'd swim again innthe morning hoping they would turn on the heater. No such like. Hotels.com advertised free breakfast and there was none. The fridge did work. The mircrowave couldnt even pop popcorn and the bed was uneven and lumpy. There was no secondary lock on the door, just the deadbolt, which was only unsettling because there was a latch on the wall. Will not be returning. Definitely will try to pay more for a better venue if i can afford it.

Good stop for a restful night, no breakfast

One night stay, just passing through, had everything I needed for a great price. Steps to 2nd floor, not sure if there was an elevator because I didn’t needed. No breakfast was fine with me and we found a good place near by at Callaghan’s Resteraunr
