The rate I was charged was not the rate that was quoted or selected during the on-line registration. That is my biggest beef. Otherwise the room was fine.

Not the cleanest when it came to one of the rooms bathrooms, had black mold in and around tub, shower mat already stuck to the tub floor. Top covers on one of the beds in the room seemed to be dirty with either chocolate or blood. When we went to front desk to question they immediately change our room for us.

Won’t return

Very old hotel with poor condition of most things in room and facility. No updates to anything. Strange smell in room on check in. Almost as if someone had previously smoked in it. Pool in poor condition made us not want to use. Hot tub out of order. Staff typically not available at front desk. Breakfast was very limited.

Was ok

No one at the counter when I got there, had to use the front desk phone to get the attendant. Latch on door was scary loose. Breakfast was meh. TV was very small and entrance is weird. I slept well and the bed was comfy. Heater worked.

NO HOT WATER!! I understand that the hotel may have been busier than normal but we showered at 6:30am and we didn't even have an ounce of warm water. We had a 2 night stay. Many people were complaining about this and they didn't seem to care. The hotel wasn't even sold out, they had plenty of rooms still available. The hotel should have been able to handle this. Many people in our group showered in the afternoon because of this.
