I had asked for a bottom floor but had second floor, I had to make two trips up and down the stair. My knee is so sore after up and down the stairs. The desk drawer would not close so was a hazard when walking around the bed. The toilet is so close to the vanity you bang your arm and cannot reach the toilet paper with out hurting yourself. This is my third time staying there and my last.

There were ants all over the beds. The faucet in bath tub kept falling off. When I told the manager he didn't seem to show that he cared at all.

Our room did not look anything like the pictures, room wasn't very clean and the carpet was missing a large piece. Staff were very friendly but not very well trained, including in the restaurant staff. Everyone seemed to be doing their best, but still couldn't get the job done properly, including the toast. Dry rye toast came heavily buttered, waitress went to get a new order and came back with dry white. Garbage strewn around the lot. Run down and dated. Will not rebook this property.

A mistake was made in booking. We realized and tried to receive a refund, or rebook. We were unable to do either. We did not receive goods or services and were charged.

The room was clean and quiet, however, the property is showing its age. We were advised not to use the microwave and another appliance at same time as it could trip a breaker.... We also received a phone call close to midnight asking when we would be arriving which was odd since we had checked in 6 hours earlier.
