"Funky odor in the room, may have been from a refrigerator that needed cleaning. The tv was hard to figure out and we never did get the sound to turn up. Breakfast was typical. Expected better at this price point."

"Clean, spacious and plenty of activities to entertain. "

"Yes"

"We checked in late and left early. It was dark both times, so we couldn't see the surrounding area. As I said, it was late, so I want to give the office staff the benefit of the doubt regarding his behavior. He seemed impatient with us and didn't want to talk. Normally, they will tell you what your room number is even though it's written down and they will direct you to your room. He did none of that. I typically don't give bad reviews; I give what is deserved. I also consider how much we pay for a room and balance that with the condition of the room. Our room was very inexpensive so I didn't expect much. The beds were clean and comfortable. However, the top of the headboards had a heavy layer of dust. They obviously had not been dusted in a long time. The faucet leaked very badly. So much so, we had to lay a bath towel on the counter so the water wouldn't run on the floor. The overall review of this hotel was 8.2 and I have no idea why."

"Clean room, easy to open door, instructions clear. Great quiet area. "

"Door way to room and bathroom was very narrow. Breakfast was lacking, Sauage patties were sitting in pool of sometype of water broth, Eggs were very watered down and sitting in pool of water. Only other hot option was Mini waffles."

"Close proximity to our activity"

"Cons - Bed had no top sheet or comforter when we arrived and the front desk seemed like they didn’t believe me when I asked for them. The bottom sheet that was there had pet hair all over it. The carpet had major stains all over it. Things in general were not very clean. The mini fridge did not work and the tv would not bring up any channels. Pros - it was quiet and easy to get to. Ultimately, it was a place to sleep, nothing more. "

"The room was very clean and the people were very nice and helpful when needed"
