Just okay

It’s okay, clean enough. I was expecting more for the price, but guess I was off. Hallways and room had an older yucky smell, particularly in the hot weather. But room and bed was comfy enough, bed on squishy side.

During check in our card was charged for the entire 3 night stay instead of just for incidental even though we pre-paid through Expedia prior. That put us in the negative, was chaged an overdraft fee and took days for them to put the money back, super frustrating. There is no bathroom on the 1st floor for guest to use. Whe asked of there was a restroom durwhile eating breakfast the front desk later was rude and stated "its for employees only" she allowed my elderly mother to use it and snapped at her saying "make sure you lock it when you're done". There is no elevator in this hotel, only stairs. The hot tub area is enclosed, no ventilation and the chlorine was really strong. It was rough to breath in, eyes burning and the window would not even crack, appeared to be rusted shut. We opended the door to that area and the main door to the the gym just to get a little air floor. Couldnt stay long our eyes couldnt take the chemicals.

Morning staff person was unbelievably rude and dismissive. Not the type of person who should be working in a hospitality position. Her snotty attitude and demeanor really negated all the positives we experienced at this property. This was in dramatic contrast to the warm welcome we received the night before at our very late check-in.

Breakfast, Beds, and Friendly staff!

Came in with my fiancée and young daughter to get married the next day. The frint desk staff was so nice and lovely, just wish i remembered her name. The room did have a slight scent of wet dog? But overall the room was very clean and lovely to stay the night in. My brand new wife and I stayed one night more than our daughter and had abquiet night just the two of us with no disturbances from staff or stay. Complimentary breakfast was also very nice and coffee in the morning was wonderful!
