Special Olympics Weekend

The hotel was very clean. The hotel was experiencing problems with their HVAC but our room's air conditioning worked great. Room was very comfortable. The room felt up to date and fresh. I was pleasantly surprised given the problems with the HVAC and the number of people staying at the hotel for events in the area. I would stay here again and recommend the hotel to others.

Sketchy at best

Out of order elevator, used/opened toiletries (soap) and questionably clean (possibly used?) towels. Hole in corner of mattress (possible drug hiding spot???) Just bought by another company according to desk clerk so maybe will improve under new ownership.

I know this was a budget hotel and you get what you pay for but there was hair on sink tops and in tub. Beds were poor with very poor pillows and sheets. This was the middle of December and the only thing on the beds were crappy sheets and thin coverlet. When I asked about extra blankets, the manager was accomodating, but all they had were what looked like twin sized mattress pads that looked like felt packing blankets. Will not stay there again. This hotel is not modern at all.

Do Not Recommend; Worst Stay I've Ever Had

Avoid this hotel at all costs. Upon arrival to my room, the door was open and I was not sure if someone had been in there. Peaked around all corners to make sure the coast was clear. Sheets were dirty, pillows looked like they had just been used, and towels were folded loosely and stained. Did not have a blanket... just top sheet and bed dress along with a cut piece of scratchy wool (not even a blanket). Left after an hour and continued my drive. Do not recommend for anyone!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Nice looking on the outside, smelled like a foot that hadn't been washed in a month and I'm a former submarine rider so i know. No coffee at the coffee pot or snacks in the vending machine. People had box fans in their windows because they had no control over their individual ac units and some were pumping out heat. Temp in our room was set for 64 but never got below 74 even at night. Staff wasn't there for our check-in and the guy who checked myself and another person was sitting outside while we were waiting at the desk then went right back outside after just taking my keycard and did not actively process me out. Had to call the next day to verify i was actually checked out but it took several hours because no one answered the phone, even took Expedia 2 days to get in touch with them to verify a partial refund for early check out which the hotel refused even though it was covered by their policy.

Very kind owner, willing to listen to feedback for improvements. really like the triangular shower tub and bathroom design, gives more elbow room, BUT the door needs to be changed. When bathroom door is swung in, it blocks access to over half of the tub. I suggest a folding closet door type , or a door that disappears into the wall. Also the refigerator had no control. It did freeze bottles in the freezer compartment , which is good. BUTI it froze other things on the shelves. Microwave needs an upgrade. one stairwell was too hot. Elevator was broken. Only given one set of towels, and they were not refreshed for my 2nd day. nice and quiet, felt safe. No breakfast, but did have coffee. reasonable price, and so easy to find by I-39

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff made it extremely hard to get it and weren't the easiest to explain our situation to. Expedia was trying to clarify and verify our reservations with them but **coincidentally** front staff would walk away from the phone and only coming back when it stopped ringing.... Thankfully, we were able to have Expedia representative on our phone who was willing to put their foot down about our reservations and got us in. So beware of that if you're using Expedia.. may run into hiccups.. Hopefully they discontinue service with each other because it was a difficult hassle especially while we were so tired from long rides and wanted to simply lay down. It was only for one night.. Eventually got in though. Beautiful view, alot of dead bugs but thankfully yes, dead lol. AND that was to be expected because it's very close to water. but probably won't be back due to the situation being so difficult to navigate through.. Overall very basic and simple room. No AC, they had a fan in the room for you to use, but it was a very powerful fan!!! Made the room cold at night lol, I'm sure if you're booking through OYO it'll be no problem at all though with the check in process! Cool for a short stay!
