The hotel lobby, hall-ways, and room were all hot. It took a couple of hours to cool the room down to where we could sleep. The ice machine on our floor was broken. The Fitness Room smelled like a cat had been locked inside for days; I couldn’t go inside the room it was so bad. Glad I was warned by another guest. The breakfast was not much but got us on the road.

This property advertises as "pet friendly" but it is not ! When I checked in I was informed that it was a $ 40 a NIGHT per pet fee. I stay with pets all of the time and have never had such an expensive fee. The women at the desk then told me to make sure my dogs never bark barking is not permitted! The pet fee is hidden in the fine print on their ad. When checking out they refused to give me a printed receipt . I would not recoms staying here

I booked this hotel for 1 night due to it having "airport shuttle" service and i asked about it as soon as i checked in and was told by a very rude older lady named "G" that they don't have one for the next morning. She told me i was supposed to book that service 24 hours before even checking in. When i asked her her name she told me it was Sara but her name tag started with "G". There were also 2 dead cockroaches on the window sill in side the room and 18-20 live ones on the outside of the window. I went to the front to tell them and "G" just looked at me and didn't move or respond. Never sent anyone to my room or offered a different one. Absolute worst experience ever.

Overall very good

Check-in was easy and staff pleasant. Parking plentiful. Quiet given proximity to the thruway. Full breakfast , if somewhat uninspiring (Two of three days I had breakfast at hotel it wasvthec same cheese omelettes and skinless sausage links. Both could have been warmer). Elevator had a funky smell to it

The room had water stains on the ceiling, stains on the sheets, beds were hard. Blowdryer did not work in my room and i went down the hall to my brothers room and his was not working also, they told us they had no extras to replace them. Coffe is only availabil during breakfast hours. My nephews volleyball team blocked off rooms for a tournament at the fairgrounds but the night before the tournament they were trying to charge everyone an extra $90 a night and break contract so last minute families had to find other arrangements.
