Upon arrival the lady at the front desk was not very friendly. The heater in my room was not responsive to the thermostat and the room kept getting hotter until I turned it off and then froze and then baked again. We were woke up by the front desk person banging on the door at 12:30 because pipes in the hotel had begun to burst flooding rooms and the entire ground floor. Fortunately our room was dry. Woke up to a cold room and turned the oven back on. No hot water for showers and when we got down stairs no breakfast due to the extensive damage. Same lady at desk was not willing to do anything thing to accommodate us for all the problems we had with our stay.

Booked online last minute after I decided to call it a night due to bad weather. When I checked in I was charged an extra $97 for my dogs ! I travel with them often and have never had to pay such a high rate. I was given a “special” pet friendly room that was absolutely disgusting. Shower walls were cracked and falling apart. Water did not get hot . The room itself was very dirty. I knew it was far from a 5 star however cleaning isn’t that difficult.

The bed was horribly uncomfortable. our room on the second floor had no hot water no matter how long we let it run for to heat up. Luke warm was the best we got. The lady who checked us in was very rude and short with us. The only good thing about the place is not having to go outside for the steakhouse.

The credit card keys worked one time and not again, the body wash dispenser in the shower was missing, I got two bars of soap at the desk, the water in the shower never got hot, the grab bar in the tub came off in my hand, the drain in the sink barely drained. Ice machine out of order, back exit filled with snow, one of the juice dispensers in the breakfast room out of order. Property has gone way downhill. Have stayed there many times before, this is the last time

The wall heater was noisy, and in order to keep the room warm, I had to set the temp setting on it to 78. I think that barely kept the room at 70 degrees. If that. The hot water in the shower was quite variable, sometimes non existent, and other times it was too hot. And it varied throughout length of the shower. The hotel was not busy at all, so not sure why it was so variable.
