I was very disappointed that when I arrived to the hotel to check in, the room was not ready. After a long drive this is the least you want to hear, "Your room is not ready". If they give you a time for check in, the rooms should be ready.

The room has leaks in the ceiling. Every time you walked into the room, there is mildew smell. We were assigned handicap room even though we are not handicapped. The handicap chair in the bathroom could not be lift out during shower. It was one of our worst stay.

Front desk was great! Had a great selection for breakfast. Room was clean. Pool had a very strong smell but while we were in swimming, maintenance came by and took a pool sample, stating they test the pool a few times a day. All in all, I would stay here again.

Most of the staff were very nice especially the lady running the kitchen. So sweet. Unfortunately the sheets on our beds had not been changed. I found hair in my bed and my sisters bed the sheets were all rumpled looked like someone just got up. The front desk said no other rooms were available. I asked for clean sheets and we changed our own bed. Went back down to front desk for top sheets and staff said she spoke to manager and now a room is available. I declined since my sister was in the shower and we had changed our beds. The beds were comfy with the much needed CLEAN sheets. I asked to be compensated for our first night but only received 1/2 since I declined another room. I pointed out it was not available when I asked in the beginning and we had already changed the sheets, showered and unpacked. Several conversations with corporate and local management still only received 1/2 of first night fee. I would not recommend this property based on my stay. I would give a 0 for cleanliness if I could and customer service.
