Pathetic

I was with my family for two nights and had a terrible experience. Breakfast was pathetic serving only cereal, bread and apples. Only condiment available with bread was butter. Juice machines didn't have juice. No other fruits, yoghurt, flavored milk or eggs. One of the days they even closed the breakfast early for no good reason. The pool and gym were closed. No housekeeping. No coffee pods in the room despite coffee machines being there. Even the bedsheets in the room were not washed. I will never come back here.

Not so good.

Check in was great. I was upgraded for free. Disappointed in the fact that there was no coffee in the room. The pool and fitness center were closed with no pre notice. The breakfast was non existent.

Awful experience

The first room we were sent to hadn’t even been cleaned, so we had to take all of our stuff to another room. At 3:00 in the morning, the fire alarms went off, due to someone smoking in their room. None of the amenities were available, due to construction. No pool, no workout room, nothing! “Breakfast was a joke…toast and bagels and cereal! This was definitely the worst hotel I’ve stayed in.

The price was great, however, we selectes the room based on the pool. They said it was being renovated. When we arrived we saw the pool area and it been down for a while. There was a tree growing in the pool area. Also, our first room had blood stains on the linen. We were given another room thankfully. The room cards kept turning off, and they had to reset them 4 times during a two night stay.

Although the workers were polite and friendly, this place needs work, and possibly new management. You get what you pay for is very true out this place. What was once probably a quality Best Western is now a run down Rodeway Inn. Exercise space, pool, arcade all out of order for “remodeling”. “Hot” breakfast was toast packaged in ziplock sandwich bags. And sheets with stains that should be replaced. For simply a bed, this place works. For a vacation stop, spend a little more and avoid that intersection of Melton, or you’ll be in for a disappointing experience.

The staff was very helpful. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived around 5’ish. The room was very dirty, ripped lampshade, ripped mattress pad, coffee maker area was filthy along with bathroom floor. Room itself wasn’t bad - definitely needs a much better cleaning job.
Mattress pad
Ripped lampshade
Coffee area. No cups, straws everywhere and coffee pod punctured.

Father’s Day weekend

Staff was awesome but the fact that we were given a room that was ready yet so we waited 15 minutes. Went back in to people already staying in that room. Was given another room but it wasn’t clean either. Finally given a different room than what I had rented. Got up there and key didn’t work. Being with 2 3 year olds that were tired it was not fun. It would have been nice if the website would have stated that the pool was as closed would have been nice as well. Staff was amazing it was just the miscommunication that we had to go through all this.
