Disappointed

I was disappointed when we arrived to find out they didn't have the breakfast I was led to believe they did. When we got to our room it was a old and dingy. We noticed mold in the bathroom. We alerted them and was moved to another room. It was a little better. The elevator was slow and one didn't work. The hotel isn't as nice as the pictures show. The area isn't the greatest. The only saving grace is the sweetest people at the front desk.

Paper and trash all over the parking lot. It was clean, but older building. The tub was scratched up. I had to look twice to be sure it wasn’t hair. The bathroom is very small. No blow dryer in the room.

Do not stay here. I recently stayed there and it was awful. We did not have access to a functional toliet in our room. We asked for maintenance multiple times and they never came to fix it. We had to go to the lobby but they kept it locked so if someone wasnt there to unlock it or it was being cleaned we had to physically leave the hotel to use the bathroom. They also refused to give us a different functional room or a refund. The worst hotel experience I have ever had

It was a last minute reservation due to a power outage. The hotel was very nice and it was safe and quiet. The bed was so comfortable.
