No one was at desk when we first got there. Waited for about 15 minutes even after calling number that was at the desk. Then couldn’t get door to room open even though light was green on door lock. Had to have attendant come help. But all in all was good experience

The hot tub is not functioning, this is not disclosed on their site. The advertised bar had its doors closed, they served beer from the front desk staff. Spoiled milk at the breakfast bar. The eggs & sausages were barely warm. Waffle mix from dispenser was a weird color so didn't use that. Coffee station trash lid was filthy and the bag was not emptied. Breakfast bar trash can also filthy.

For the rates charged this was by far one of the worst places ive stayed & i travel alot & have stayed in some questionable places. The sewer gas smell is horrible. The cold water faucet for the hot tub literally came off, hot tub didnt work anyway so didnt matter. Pillowcases & sheets were dirty. Unless this is last resort i wouldnt recommend.
