The road construction was terrible. Only one entrance/ exit and had to go one way out of hotel. Not hotels fault but inconvenience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Would not recommend
Rooms were dirty (candy canes smashed into carpet of one room and stained, footprint on sheets in another room), loud/screaming kids running the halls all night, breakfast was gross (pancake machine takes forever and only spits out 2 mini pancakes at a time, cream cheese for bagels had sat out too long, definitely not the “buffet” they advertise). Beds were comfy, they offer Dove bath/hair stuff, staff friendly…..those are the only positives.

Not sure what they were thinking
I arrived at my room to find the door propped open, the bed only half-made up, the radio on, and house keeping nowhere to be seen. I finished working on the room and never saw another staff member. The floor towel was wet from being used by the prior person. The bedside clock radio was backlit by a blue LED, the color light which keeps people awake. At least the front desk woman was friendly.
