The room itself wasn’t gross but it wasn’t great either, it was extremely dusty and the carpet had a lot of stains. The walls are paper thin and we could hear every word the people next door were saying. The worst part was that we paid extra for a lakefront balcony room but couldn’t spend any time out there or keep our sliding glass door open because other guests were out on their balconies chain smoking and it would fill our balcony/room with smoke.

The room was what I would expect from a 2 star hotel and that is not my problem. The staff were not friendly even down right nasty and uninformative. Almost mad that you asked a question, this based on my responses and what I witness with other guests. The breakfast is in another hotel and she did inform me of that. I walked all around the hotel ending with the lobby, no breakfast. I go and ask her about it and her response did you go to the 3rd floor. No I wasn't told that. We just left and ate somewhere else. Not worth the aggravation. Plenty of other places to stay.

The bed was the most comfortable of any hitel we havw stayed out. However, our room had a weird smell that we could not place, there was no wash clothes in our room and it was attached to another hotel that you had to go to for breakfast or to return your key card. Our bathroom door also did not unlock so if you shut it when no one was in there it took some time to get it back up. The fan in the bathroom was loud.
