Bait and Switch
We stopped here for the night on our drive out to Wisconsin. The two reasons we chose this location were the pool (we were looking forward to a swim after a long drive) and the free breakfast. The pool area was a little gross, and the hottub was just nasty. The kids swam, but I just couldn't bring myself to get in. There was no breakfast. Because of COVID. At that time the pandemic was nearly over, and all of the studies had shown that it wasn't spread that way, but they had it closed anyway. And no reimbursement from what we paid. The woman at the counter said that yes, everyone complains about that, and that she's told the owner to take that off of their advertisements, but it hadn't happened yet. It's just overall kind of trashy. The employees hang out by the doors and smoke, letting the hallways fill with the stench.

We show up and they canceled our reservations and never told us. Apparently they ran my card, I was not even there yet and my bank declined it as frad. They nevee called or emailed. They sold our room to someone else. The whole town was sold out and we had to drive home after our concert. The staff was horrible rude despise me trying to be polite.

Front desk manager was never there. The phone to call him didn't always work. Manager had an attitude. Free juice and coffee only, juice tasted terrible. Be ready to fork out an extra $100 for a deposit after paying for your room which is non refundable as it is. Don't recommend!!

View was of a McDonald's drive through. Needless to say, we had to keep the curtains closed. Shower that night had low pressure and was lukewarm at the best. Sheets and room was clean and staff friendly. An okay stay.

The pool was open, but you had to go to the front desk to ask for pool towels, that is if you could find anyone. And then the front deak clerk had her son there each night alone swimming in the pool and he wouldnt leave my family alone! And even though advertised, they had no breakfast.
