To start off room key we were given did not work. We had our kids out in the cold and my husband had to go and let them know they declined talking to him and asked for me specifically and needed my ID. Ok.. went had my ID ready there was a line. He called me over game me my room key back (did not ID me) k I run back still not working!! Went back got another room key to another room.. walked in it smelled TERRIBLE. Moldy,misty, I don’t even know how to describe the smell! We wanted to leave but they do NO REFUNDS. Floor dirty, opened fridge there was towels in there and smelled disgusting! The bed side lights did not work nor the wall plugs to charge phone. Found a bug on floor!! Next day they cleaned the room and fixed the light and gave us a plug outlet that sits on night stand. Smell never changed!! We didn’t even care to look inside the fridge again. We had windows open all night which helped with the smell but its a sketchy hotel definitely didn’t feel safe sleeping like that, especially with 2 girls. During the day we closed window obviously to prevent anyone getting in. But when you return room will stink!! Don’t recommend this hotel at all!!

I did not like that they don't clean or sweep the floor. And the smell of the room is not pleasant when you walk in.

Well at first i was in the standard double room and it wasnt that bad. When i booked the room i booked the single standard room And it gave me the double room which is more than enough room and it also has cockaroaches in there which i didnt appreciate. Secondly i booked another stay in a standard single room and everything was perfect just as planned. No bugs or anything was wrong

I couldn’t stay there. They didn’t accept pets after I prepaid drove all night. Had to work in the morning arrived at midnight to a disappointing sign on the office window at the property, saying no pets after the filter that I always put when I’m looking for hotel on Hotels.com is animal, friendly pet friendly Wi-Fi and parking. I want my money back. I need a refund. I never stayed there. I got screwed again.
