Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I never stayed they kept my money, and I had insurance and it’s been phone hockey. They had me walking around with workers searching for basic items. I don’t work there. It was a full blown orchestration of theft and ignorance that I just don’t have patience for. As of this time I still am waiting for some compensation as I had to drive to another hotel and pay a second hotel the same night.

It was a clean bed booked at a good price last minute while I was passing through the area and needed to rest. Can’t ask for much more than that.

During my stay, the phone in the room did not work, and the management was rude and inconsiderate. I found it dangerous to stay at this hotel because the key cards were not secure. While I was in my room, another guest accidentally opened my door with the hotel-issued card he had. He was checking in, but the hotel had given him a key card that also worked for my room. Can you imagine? I am requesting a full refund for my stay. I advise anyone considering staying at this location to do so at their own risk.
