We’ve been here for 2 nights so far and on our third room. First room had no ac and no hot water.. shower was broke. Got a new room. They called the next morning saying we had to move again because of some leak issue that was on the lower levels. There was water in the office. They couldn’t comp us anything because I went thru Expedia. (Third party) Scared to even unpack again… Staff was nice even when I got irritated. I just want to relax

Came from hospital from a surgery that I had to stay in town for just in case. Didn’t have my requests in the system and the restaurant is closed and that’s part of why I picked the place due to trying to recover from surgery and not being able to go out to eat. When I said something to the receptionist about these issues, the response was “Well. You booked on a third-party site.” Made it to the room which smelled extremely strong like cigarette smoke. And the king size bed literally had 3 tiny pillows set up on half the bed. I literally sat and sobbed.

Good dog hotel

I stayed here for a dog show at the expo center that is attached to the hotel. If you are coming for convenience this hotel can’t be beat. They have lots of grass areas to potty dogs. There were also lots bag/trash stations, but unclear if the dog show put those out or the hotel as they were permanent stations. They no longer serve dinner, but the bar does stay open. Breakfast in the morning is a buffet station and priced reasonably. Same thing everyday, but one hot carb option changes (pancakes, waffles, French toast, biscuits/gravy.) They said they don’t clean until the 3rd day, but they didn’t clean then either. We had to go to the front desk for towels, Kleenex, and toilet paper. We left trash and towels outside our door on the days we knew they weren’t cleaning and they did get picked up/emptied. Overall, if you need a hotel that takes dogs and are doing something at the expo center, this is the place to stay. If not, you can likely find better accommodations that are renovated.

The air conditioning was broken, the event center smelled like a truck stop bathroom, and the carpets tiles were lifting on the edges so much I almost tripped multiple times. The rafters in the main hotel are so dusty that they look like they are covered in rust. If I never come back to this hotel it will be too soon.
