My wife, 1 year-old daughter and I stayed here after traveling in for a wedding.
The check-in process was quick and easy, and I found the desk staff to be very friendly and accommodating. We had originally planned to bring our dog with us, as we were happy to find a dog-friendly hotel, but decided to leave her at home. There is no charge for your pets, which sounded nice. At the entrance to the hotel parking lot, there is a large mismatched sign that reads "Award Winning." I wonder precisely what award was ever won by this hotel.
I immediately noticed that the hallways and elevator was not air-conditioned, and was very warm. When we got to our room, I found it to be very small. The bathroom was also very small, and did not have much counter space. It seemed to be clean, at first-glance.
We were happy to find many restaurants nearby, and went out for dinner.
When we returned to the room, I initially had lots of trouble using the wi-fi, but figured it out. The wi-fi is not sufficient for streaming anything, and the signal is very poor. The offer an "enhanced wi-fi" service for a charge, but I decided that was not necessary.
We found several black ants crawling on the floor next to the bed, and that was extremely off-putting. After stomping them, we found several more dead ants in the shower.
The bed was extremely hard, and very, very uncomfortable. The room is very hot, unless you run the air-conditioning nearly all the time. The air conditioning unit is very, very loud, and each time it kicked on during the night, it woke me up, which was very frustrating, considering it was very hard to fall asleep to begin with, considering the uncomfortable bed.
I woke up even more exhausted than I was when I went to bed, and my back hurt, and I never complain of back discomfort. The shower floor was squishy, and seemed like it was too big for the space it was installed into. The towels were too small, and not standard-size towels.
When I finished showering, I immediately called several neighboring hotels to see if we could switch to one of them, but they were all booked. The breakfast area is way too small for the number of rooms they have here. The line was so long, and by the time we got up to it, most of the food was gone, and what was left, was not appealing in the least. They would be better served by not offering breakfast at all. All of this gave me the impression that this was once a hotel with suites, and someone remodeled it poorly to add rooms.
The swimming pool is outdoors, and very, very cold. The towels by the pool were no larger than a standard kitchen dish towel, which was similarly off-putting.
Housekeeping never came, and the two tiny garbage cans were not sufficient for our needs. We have two more nights we have to stay here, and I am not looking forward to them. While we were foolish to even consider travelling with a 13-month old baby, we were even more foolish to choose this hotel.
If I had a third-arm, I would give this hotel three thumbs-down. read more
