Disliked: Cleanliness
Hairy Sheets
As soon as we arrived to check in, I was met with two different clients from the hotel who were putting in complaints about how dirty their rooms were. When we went to our room, the beds were made, but they were full of hair of all sizes. I don't know if the sheets had been placed on the uncleaned carpet or were just switched out from another room. I was just thankful to have traveled by road cause we had two blankets we were able to to use on top of the dirty sheets. It was myself, my husband and my daughter on this trip and we all opted for sleeping in our clothes and not pajamas.

This has been the worst experience I have had in a long time and the people at the Hotel were very rude and did not do the room cleaning. When I approached them to ask why they had not done it, they told me that because there was no staff and that I did want to go I could It was 8 at night to go and with a person who didn't care that they were in a wheelchair and it was very very cold, I will never stay in that hotel in my life and I don't recommend it,
