My room was not clean. The bathroom floor and tub were full of hair and the bathroom light did not work. The carpet had not been vacuumed, and when I pulled back the sheets, they had not even been changed!! The pillow shams had what appeared to be snot wiped on the. Wish I could attach photos. The staff demanded that they take copies of both the drivers license and credit card because I had book on Expedia. I went to Walmart n bought sheets, pillow and blanket. Cancelled my credit card and have a new one coming. The restaurant Louie’s is filthy dirty and correct food ordered was not received and they refused to remove it from the bill. Chargeback I initiated

Inside is not what you would expect when walking up…more of an ol’ fashion ambiance inside. Rooms were clean, afternoon/evening staff were helpful & polite. Great lounge and great restaurant onsite.

My experience may be isolated, but perhaps worthy of sharing. We arrived around 2am, exhausted from traveling, and had a 5:30am commitment. When we arrived we merely pushed on the room door and it opened. The door latch was broken, not fully engaging into the door jamb. So we tried the dead bolt and it did not work at all. The night staff had no solution so we slept with a chair securing the door shut. Just a little uncomfortable for us, but it turned out alright. The dead bolt was fixed the next day. After a cold, rainy day fishing excursion the next day, we returned to the hotel room anticipating a nice hot shower. We were disappointed to learn the water was luke warm-to cool, at best. But what I think relevant is that we were told the room temperature was dictated by how much hot water was used by the hotel restaurant. Of the four days we stayed, we had only one hot shower. Not the end of the world, but a little disappointing. Outside of this, the environment was safe and quiet, and the town was pleasant. The beds were comfortable, too.
