The hotel was not clean. One of the sinks in the room did not work. It says “pet friendly “ but there was never mention of extra fees for pets on either Expedia or the hotel website. I had to pay the extra fees upon arrival. The bedding was also stained and looked dirty. I will never stay there again.

First off, we booked 2 rooms. First room seemed fine at first, second room the sink didn’t work and would just run randomly. The first room we complained of the tv not working, then they brought an extension cord, it turned on, they left, never got a connection. Later we complained about an electrical burning smell. Lady came in, looked around, said she didn’t smell it and told us not to plug things in. In the second room the handle fell off the shower so we couldn’t even use the shower. I would complain about how both rooms had no shower curtains, but apparently we are lucky there since there was guest complaining of mold on theirs. The floors feel damp and stinky through out the hotel. We had exposed wiring in a room. When my kids woke up with bites on their bodies, that’s what broke the camels back. We payed for 2 days and left after 1. This place is unsafe and disgusting. I will continue to let others know how horrible our experience was. The rooms have a strange oder to them, and one little bit picky detail was the horrible patch work throughout the rooms and hallways. Also the burnt outlet outside of our room was a great view. And I took pictures of these issues so need to come back and say I’m lying😀
