Her feet was out. Hotel stink. No elevators. Room stink. Doors slam when shutting couldn’t sleep. Hotel room key did not work. No laundry room. No stove. No microwave. Reminded of my last day like I didn’t know what it was. Bored that Applebees was disgusting. The laundry mat is a rip off have cash perfectly set up for you to spend more money. 25 mins from the plant. Not near Monticello plant at all the worse hotel experience in my life won’t ever stay there again. Lesson learned so you don’t do it. It’s cheap for a reason super 8 or days inn Monticello are way better.

The expedia site said that pets stay free at this hotel. When I checked in, I was told that there was fee for pets and there were no pet rooms available. She then told me that my reservation would be canceled and I would get a refund. I hope that will happen. We had to find a different hotel.

Only positive was the bed was okay & bedding was nice and we paid $62. Otherwise, breakfast choices were: pop tarts, white bread with grape jelly or fruit loops and apple juice. No fruit options, every option was terrible for you! Room was not clean & smelled musty. Says there is a pool but it was closed. No microwave or coffee pot in rooms.
