Amenities are a NO GO

Guest Services made my check in fast and efficient. Breakfast was decent. However my purpose for choosing this hotel was the hot and pool. Hot tub had cold questionable water in it and not working. Pool temperature was beyond freezing, apparently the heater for the pool was not working either. Extremely disappointed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
When I arrived the staff was friendly. But the facility had a bad odor, the room also had a bad odor. I had to get Lysol & febreeze to take out the odor. The curtains had holes in them. The toilet was leaking. The breakfast was not good at all. I did ask for another room but I was told the rooms were all booked. When I checked out the desk clerk was not friendly at all. I’m sorry to say that I will be staying in the area next year, but not in this hotel. I was very disappointed.
