Disliked: Room comfort

Clean but very noisy

The walls felt paper thin. We could hear everything waking us up repeatedly throughout the night and early morning. Iy wasn’t noisy neighbors, they weren’t yelling, they were talking at a normal level but we could hear everything. Constantly. The pool was listed but is closed indefinitely which would have been good to know. Constantly hearing water flowing and bang and creak in the walls.

The mattress was horrible for the price of the room. It was equivalent to a motel 6 mattress. Also, the room has a mildewed smell.

The staff was always outside either smoking or on their phones. I asked for the sheets to be changed and they just put the linens on the bed. We had to ask for more toilet paper because there wasn’t enough in our room. Overall it was just ok.

Facility and room nice, condition disappointing

The people are friendly and kind. The hotel was not heavily booked during my stay and when I registered, I was told that the complimentary breakfast would be minimized. This was true and not ideal for me. The pool is closed and has a sign that says it has been closed for some time. The only ice machine is also broken and when I asked at the front desk about this, I was told to go over the restaurant across the parking lot because they sometimes give ice away when asked....??? WHAT? (I did not go begging for ice!)
