remodeling happens

We got there and found out the hotel use under major remodeling. Lobby hallways had sheetrock and light dust throughout. Not a deal breaker because it is an improvement. Just unfortunate. very friendly staff and very comfortable beds. Also, very windy day and there was a howling through our window possibly part of the remodel.

I requested a Handicap room .I got a room with a bar in the shower. Toilet was to low to the ground and very hard to get off and on for a Handicap person point of view. No handles around the toilet. No seat or hand held showet attachment in shower, so I could not take a shower.

On the road again!

The room was decent, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom sink was slow to drain and cold water flow from the faucet was minimal. Also, the room heater temp-control doesn't function correctly - I had it down to 62 and it kept cycling on no matter the setting. These are all minor items, but yet somewhat annoying...
