We booked the room via Expedia they took the money. We showed up and they had no room available and told us money would be refunded next business day. Meanwhile we were stuck at 9pm in a tiny no gas town without a room and down 300$+. The kid at the desk offered us a muffin for our woes, then chased us to the car showing his phone which who knows what was suppose to do for us. Expedia needs to not do business. The Hampton inn next town 30m down, said this happens all the time there, so they upgraded us!

The rooms were nice, my family got randomly upgraded to a suite which was wonderful (highly recommend the suites if you’re traveling with family). The staff was super friendly and responsive. The pool and hot tub leave a bit to be desired-they aren’t well maintained and the hot tub needed a good cleaning. But overall everything was great.

The photos on the internet do not match this hotel at all. We stayed here for an out of town hockey tournament and pulled up thinking we were going to a beautiful golf resort with super cute cottages. However, we found that the rooms we were given were nothing short of a budget motel and certainly not worth the $300 we paid for. This was a very disappointing stay.
