Stay with Dog

Quick overnight with our dog. Charged for the dog($65) extra - but front desk staff kindly offered us a first floor room - which made it so much easier with our dog. We also had a late bite at the bar- and it was solid. Very close to I-80- appreciated the convenient location. Older property but clean.

Property was dirty, food on the foor while looking at our room. One of the elevators was not working so we had to walk to the end of the hall, get on the other elevator, go up then walk all the way back. Also the property decided to down grade our room from 1 king to 2 beds without telling us. Then when we went back to the front desk they wouldn't issue a refund. After i talked to expedia they agreed to give us less than half our money back.

The pool was closed. Expedia's site said it was closed during winter, but we visited in mid-June. The pool was covered by a tarp. Clearly the pool had not been open for a long, long time. That's unacceptable when traveling with two young children and specifically chose a hotel with a pool for entertainment purposes.

Clock in room not set to proper time and had to figure out how to set the time. Tried to get as much sleep as possible before checkout and received a knock at the door at 7AM. Then received a call on the room phone from the front desk saying they didn't have my room reserved for anyone. I needed sleep and didn't get much.
