The young man that checked us in was pleasant. The lobby was cold so he was bundled up. The room had a mild odor when we first walked into it. The bed was comfortable. The tile floor was dirty as were the hallways. Maintenance had been completed on the cheap.

Check in was fine and host was pleasant but I called the hotel directly before check in and the same room was $20 cheaper than booking thru your site. Will not use your site again as false advertising.

Room had a moldy shower curtain and moldy picture hanging on the wall. Towels in room had stains or discoloration. At breakfast hardly any thing left at 8:30 Am we went back an hour later and still nothing replenished. Only some eggs and two pieces of bread. Beds are hard as a rock. The room had a pet smell since they do allow dogs.
