I was going to a funeral of a relative.I live 340 mi from Pella.I asked if I could check in early so I coukdgo to the family visitation on Sun afternoon. (Sent message & also called them because no reply initially to the message).They said they might try,but I came later then since there was no positive feedback.I arrived around 2:15 o or so. (Normal check in is 3 pm).No rooms were ready.Initially Shantel said " Give me 5 min to clean the bathroom." This turned into @least 20 min.Later she said that "everyone had checked out by 11am." None of the rooms were made up till @least 4 or 4:30 pm. (If all had checked out @11am I don't know why none of the rooms were ready.) Two dark skinned men I think were helpers too,but always seemed to be on their phones. Then the free Wi-Fi did not work. I grew up in this area & have stayed there @other times,but this was a very bad experience. I was so upset that I could not attend the visitation of my relative. Surely for a situation like this the rules could have been adjusted.
