Front desk people were extremely helpful except the old man who didn't seem very friendly. First 2 days we saw small bugs in the bathroom, not sure if they were roaches, but surprisingly not a big issue for us. When turning off the shower it had to be forced off to ensure the dripping would stop and to turn on afterwards took great force. Maintenance was notified, but their fix was just to force it closed like we had been.

When I got to the hotel, they stated my reservation was cancelled by Travelocity. Travelocity confirms, they did not cancel my reservation. There was a large nascar race about three hours from this hotel and I am guessing the front desk sold it for more money than they would have made from my reservation. The front desk clerk would not meet me in the eye or even talk to me about my canceled reservation. I ended up staying three hours from the airport and paying over a thousand dollars for a one night stay. This was the worst hotel situation I have ever experienced and will never stay at this property or recommend it to anyone.

The staff was ok, but so busy and only one person handling the front- the hotel is ok but dated and dingy. We would not shower at the hotel. It was ok for a quick sleep and leave the next morning. We will not return.
