So the first room they gave us hadn’t had the bathroom cleaned. The maintenance guy walked right in on us because he was in the process of fixing the drapes and didn’t realize the room would be rented. When I mentioned there didn’t seem to be towels, he did go get some. However, by the time he came back, I realized there were no towels because they were still in the bathtub and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. He just kind of shrugged his shoulders and said housekeeping was gone for the day. A couple of calls to the front desk and they eventually decided to get me a new room. The failing cleanliness grade is based on the new room. I get people make mistakes and get distracted, but the new room (while having clean towels, yay!) still was pretty dirty. I wish Expedia let me post pictures. Bottom line this is an old hotel (first room had crack in sink and hole in carpet, second room was much better) and terrible housekeeping (and I am really not that picky), I don’t think they had cleaned the vents or the tops of doors in years. I would find somewhere else to stay. Not worth the $$.

Great little lodge

Very clean, comfortable, convenient for us as our son was at a football camp at the high school right behind the hotel. A lot of construction workers staying at the hotel but they were very quiet. The Espresso Bar restaurant serves Peet’s coffee and breakfast. It was welcoming and the staff was very professional and kind.

Not impressed

The hotel room smelled like bleach and the AC unit was musty and super loud all night. The front desk person was accomodating giving us an air purifier but definitely not a great night's sleep. I never stay at places that do not have an hotels.com 8 star plus rating...not sure how this was rated that well. It was partially remodeled but AC units in rooms need to be cleaned or replaced.

Overall, I liked the stay. My only complaint is that they only gave shampoo and conditioner for one day and that doesn’t work with two women for two days. Same with washcloths.

Dirty Room

Room was dirty. Remotes to the tv had dust on them. Bed had crumbs on it. Restroom was dirty with hair along the rim of the bathtub. A small spider was on the other bed.

I did not get the newly renovated room as advertised, additionally the room smelt of cigarettes when it was supposed to be non-smoking. I reserved a double queen bedroom and was given a single king bed. The bathroom was dirty. I was very disappointed and ended up staying at another location.

Terrible service. Rarely anyone at front desk. Originally given a room that was unrefurbished with drapes that wouldn’t closed. Finally was given a room that had been redecorated without explanation. No one at desk to check out with to get a receipt. The lobby looks nice. Don’t let that fool you for the rest of the property including your room. A $200 room that should have been no more than $70 a night.

Awful bathtub

The room was a little outdated but very clean. The bathtub felt like there was nothing under it. It made it hard to stand in the shower.
