Room was very damp and most likely had mold. Shower curtain needs to be longer as it did not reach the tub and water gets all over the floor. Online photos are old, the hotel does not look the that. Hotel needs a complete overhaul. Again staff was very nice

For the price we paid, i was a little disappointed. The rooms were outdated, the AC smelled moldy and the bathroom had a shower curtain that didnt keep hardly any water in the bathtub. We ended up having to use our towels to sop up all water that splashed out. The pictures that were posted of the property made it look nicer than it actually was. probably wont be staying here again. the staff was nice though.

Yuck!

We decided to take our Frenchi on vacation with us, we booked through hotels and there was no way to pick the “pet friendly option”. We get there to check in and let them know we brought our pet with us and they scrambled to find another room, I’m guessing they have rooms dedicated just for pet owners and then charged us additional fee’s which I would be fine with if the room was not disgusting, smelled horrible like a dog kennel, carpet looked to be about 25 years old same could be said about the dated furniture, toilet kept us up constantly running, overall cleanliness was poor considering the price we paid.

Overall the property was very good. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the lady hosting the breakfast was gracious and pleasant. However, the front desk clerk who checked us in needs some improvement on her interpersonal skills. She was initially snippy, abrupt and condescending. We felt as though we were bothering her even though we were trying to be pleasant and engaging. It got to the point where my patience with her attitude was wearing thin and my demeanor changed. At that point, her tone changed and she became more conciliatory and helpful. Nevertheless, the interaction was less than pleasant.

Not Good

The front desk clerk was not very friendly, very loud, and even took a phone call with BW customer service on speaker during our check in. The room was very dark with all lights on and blinds open. The smell of weed was very strong. There were small flying bugs all over room.
