I paid extra for a suite with Two beds and a couch and they out me in just a regular room . The door bell they have for after hours doesn’t work and when you call the hotel no one answers . This hotel used to be a great value and a decent pace to stay but I think it has changed hands and they just don’t care anymore .

I’ve stayed in better hotels for less than I paid; definitely not worth the what we paid. Room smelled/ felt musty. Creepy guy always in the lobby watching our every move at night- made us uncomfortable; not sure if staff, guest, or what.

The owner/manager is the absolute worst type of person to be in his position. Hangs up on customers and refuses to take phone calls. He will not help solve issues or even attempt to have a conversation about issues. Absolutely the worst hotel i have ever come across in my life!!! Choice hotel brand should be ashamed to be associated with this gentleman!!
