We decided to cut our valentine's weekend short due to the weather and its continued deplorable conditions that were being forecast. Called to cancel our reservation as a courtesy knowing we wouldn't receive our money back. The woman was extremely rude and in instisted I couldn't cancel. I finally said, "Well we will not be there and hung up." I never asked for any money back she was immediately just defensive and ride saying, "u can't cancel."

The place appeared clean at first sight. I ended up with 2 cockroaches on my nightstand, so I slept with the lights on. The sink produced hot water, but I could get nothing over 60 degrees out of the shower. I tried the handle in every position and kept it running for roughly 15 minutes. I ended using a wash cloth with the hot sink water to wash up after a very uncomfortable stay. 2 containers of identical off-brand Cheerios were offered along with Styrofoam muffins for breakfast.

Spend a little more and get a better place

Not very happy with my experience here. When I got there the TV did not work I had to call the front desk and they had to walk me through how to get it going. The next day when I woke up I took a shower and there was no hot water. I let the hot water run for like two minutes and it was still not hot. So I decided to take a cold shower and after I was done I called the front desk and they said the cold is the hot and the hot is the cold and you need to let it run for five minutes. I don't feel that it was worth $188 for one night sleep.

For the price, this property didn’t measure up in any way. I paid $220 for one night and got this: Shabby, bathroom fixtures needed replacing, lobby wasn’t clean, key cards needed replacing 3 times in a one night stay, miserable “breakfast”, unprofessional front desk. The best thing I can say is that the bed was ok and the shower worked. Unacceptable for over $200! I’ve had better accommodations at $60 a night.

Woefully problematic

First room we were provided, some drunkard ran into the wall with his extended bed truck. He didn’t go through—but we didn’t feel safe. Our second room…food in the loud non-working air conditioner, Who know WHAT on mattresses. Window wouldn’t lock. I as wide open when we got in—probably because of non working air conditioning. We left that night. They refused to refund.
Food in so condition r that didn’t work
Don’t know what this is
