Not what we paid for

Room we reserved wasn’t available for us on check in, the charged us pet fees when we didn’t have any animals with us, when they tried to give a discount they charged an additional cha he instead… breakfast was not good and the breakfast area was extremely small. Maid service left dirty washcloth in the tub..

Liked: Staff & service

We stopped here in Late July on our way to the east coast. The room was nice with laminate floors and relatively new furniture but the chair had a strange smell and the bath tub had a ring on the side. We were in an accessible room so it was very spacious but the bed was quite uncomfortable. It was like sleeping on an over filled waterbed. The mattress seemed to be filled with air. The staff was pleasant and the main areas of the hotel were nice.
