There is nothing unique about this property and management. Worse possible staff, Room and Breakfast! Website shows there should be swimming pool, Microwave BUT nothing. When asked the staff about that, they straight says I have to pay more to get those!!! And Breakfast area was dark and unclean as well as the item. They don't even leave any water or coffee to drink after 9!! Although it was for one night, but I never had an experience and that will be my reasoning not to book anything with Expedia going forward. Unbelievable experience!
Quick 2 overnight stay... breakfast is great. Room is spacious and clean,beds are comfy. Parking is tight and limited on handicap, Noticed 2 cars parked there all night not sign. Saw workers drive iff in those cars.
The room was not up to standard, had smelled of mold, tv and remote wasn’t working, room was very dirty. Did not see any employees except for FD. Did not offer to make up for any of these issues, no maintenance to fix anything. Morning breakfast was just cereal and coffee was water down.
Was disappointed. Run down facilities. Everything in the room seemed been there for ages. Nothing is updated. I would recommend others not to stay here.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was good. The breakfast was very limited. The sink was stained. The parking was terrible. The parking lot had large holes.

Served expired milk at breakfast that after charging 250$ for one night.
Should be embarassed with the service provided.
The hotel was clean, quiet, and conveniently located for the Balloon Fiesta. The only issue was the property was in the middle of construction/ maintenance and the room was unfinished.
My room had a lot of construction debris and power coating the coffee maker and the sink area. My fire alarm/smoke detector was conveniently removed and was in one of the drawers. The wires for the alarm/smoke detector were just exposed and wete just sticking out of the wall. The carpet in both the hallways and the room were also covered in construction dust or residue. The outlet in the sink area was also mon functioning and the connector for the hair dryer had some sticky sapp-like substance that was melted onto it and it did not work.
Requested a non smoking room. The room stunk like astray, my granddaughter was nauseous and didn't get enough sleep. Was tired and agitated at the Balloon Fiesta..
