It was close to family we were visiting. Very clean! Big room.

Our middle outlets went off when we turned lights off over the beds. The switch to turn those lights off didn’t work on a separate line. Thankfully the front desk Hal had some painters tape and we covered the lights with that so we could sleep with them on so the power did not go off and turn off my husband’s c-pap machine.

Would’ve enjoyed it more if I wasn’t charged randomly.

5.0

Breakfast was decent, we can’t complain too much. A lot of dog areas right by hotel and food. Super nice location.

Front desk worker; Terrible . Also charged me a random amount when I left. Also receipts weren’t ever sent to me every time I asked.
