Hotel is a bit rundown, chipped paint, stains. The cleaning solvent was so strong when I walked in the room, what are they hiding? When I first went to my room, the key card didn’t work so I went back to the front desk and the receptionist told me “Oh, some of the handles you have to lift up to use” ummm why didn’t you tell me that before?

Just what we needed

We had a great nights stay. The staff was helpful, the room clean, and the bed great. We left an item in the room and called to ask if they found it. While we need to call back tomorrow when the room is cleaned, the woman at the dest was helpful and understanding. I needed that and a stay at a nice hotel after experiencing a nightmare stay earlier in the week.
