Property was great most of everything was great except for the air conditioner, rattling and making pumping noise like pumping water out. They did offer to move us, but they didn’t have anymore single king size beds they wanted to move us to a double queen and me and my wife did not want that the air conditioner was not screwed into the wall. I am a maintenance man at a resort and it just needed to be tightened. All the screws were loose and not screwed in. I could pull it out of the wall. I tightened it myself the best I could without tools that helped the rattling, but not the pumping water sound. But I think it is a good hotel to stay at. It’s very close to everything. Everything is 5 to 10 minutes away and the outlet mall is only 17 minutes away. It’s very affordable.

The bed linen, and bathroom towels had hair from another guest on them. The room I had smelled like vinegar really badly. The breakfast wasn’t the best. The fruit loops were stale, the scrambled eggs were watery, and the corned-beef hash was soggy. The hash-brown potatoes, and waffle maker were fitting to eat. The parking gets full fast, but Virginia let me know that at the time of check-in, which I appreciated. Hopefully, if I decided to stay here again I would like to give it a better rating if they take my honest review into account. Thank you.

The mattress and pillows were horrible. Was there for two nights could not sleep comfortably and woke up each day with a headache. The pillows were hard as a board, the mattresses sunk in the middle, and had my feet pointing into a missile launch position. I would not recommend this location until there is an upgrade of both.

The stay was fine and what we needed. However, given the cost for the stay I did not expect the bathroom lock to be sawed and never repaired. And, extremely limited parking which was very inconvenient given that I had to pay $15/night and had it not been for the 2 electrical vehicle parking spaces, I would not have had where to park. Mind you, this is including the park of the Hampton Inn and Best Western because I was told to look for parking at the Hampton Inn.

Terrible experience. No Ac, clogged sink, roaches in the room and in coffee maker and remote control, the mildew and mold smell took me to the urgent care, stayed up all night and cut the vacation short and left 6 am after check in. The refrigerator was frozen could not use, No parking. Blood stains on the bed platform, dirty and dusty floor boards and lamp shades. When talking to front desk I was advised to call corporate.
