Desperately needs a makeover

First I have to say the employees and service are fantastic. SO friendly and helpful. I know this part isn’t their fault but this place DESPERATELY needs updated and cleaned!! The shower was disgusting and the shower head barely worked, there were stains and dust everywhere, the hair dryer was covered in dust and dirt, and it was just super old and dirty. We were not comfortable at all. The bad part is, you pay the cost of a nice hotel but it’s far from that. Whoever owns this hotel seriously needs to do something.

Several issues with room, all communicated to staff, zero resolution... deadlock did not work (major safety hazard); shower rod almost coming off of wall, shower curtain only supported at middle, so water literally streamed out of stall onto bathroom floor; exhaust fan in bathroom did not work. Staff was unpleasant, woman at the front desk could care less while checking in, didn't tell me room number or instructions on even how to get to room. And swimming pool far too small for a hotel of this size. Overall, very underwhelming.

No action taken after Text message from Front Desk

Everything was good. Except we needed more toilet paper and towels. Texted the person who had reached out about checkin received a response and said everything would be taken care of. It never was. I finally went down at 10 pm when we returned to get everything. Other than that…the cook at the resturant was not the friendliest, and was bothered I asked for an omelet to be made. He may have been short staffed, but was not kind.
