Disappointed in booking

Nice family stay. The only problem I accidentally forgot to add a day. So went back to edit hotel.com wouldn’t edit my stay called customer service they wouldn’t edit my stay I had to book through the hotel for double the price. I was already book for 5 days at Econo Lodge and I admit it was my mistake on dates. But I feel Hotels.com.com could have helped me out or hotel. Highly disappointed. The interesting thing is we had a family staying they that was booking 4 room for 6 days each!!!! Guess money more important than customer satisfaction

Great location

We got a room in a different building than we usually stay in. It was ok. Clean. But beds were so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep a full night. People yelling up and down halls. And could hear everything the people next door said through the walls. I do like how close it is to everything.

Stay here every time

We stay here almost every time we come to town. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything. About one block off the main drag so parking is easy and no street noise

Disliked: Staff & service

Horrible customer service, horrible room

We asked for a room in the main building, clerk said they didnt have any available but yet there wss hardly if at all any rooms occupied and the parking lot was empty at night and during the day. We asked for a room in the main building because there was constant noise from the side of the building, people banging on crap, dump truck or some kind of loud banging noise at 5:30 in the morning. Neighbors were constantly yelling and screaming in their room and on the balcony all hours of the night. The front desk said Sorry, nothing available. Poor poor customer service, bad guest experience. This place seems to have gone down hill. Oh the hot water wasnt working either, it would go on and off!
