Terrible experience

Our room was facing a busy road and directly outside the door was a very bright light and vending machines. The draperies did not block the light. The room smelled like mildew. Do not stay here.

MINYING

No internet. Front desk refused to change me to a room where there was internet. People who checked in after me had rooms with internet (that means there’re rooms available when I requested the room change). I had to stay in the office to use internet multiple times. The second day after negotiating multiple times and declared I would accept it if there was no internet after they gave me a different room I got a new room with internet (they continuously said they didn’t know which room had internet which one did not. But the truth is only my floor had no internet as I walked through the property). As I worked as a front desk in hotels before, I knew they were lying and up until now I had no idea about why they would do that. Worst experience in all years of travelling around America.

It’s a good location, not my favorite stay because the heating didn’t work and if you were there during the day you could hear what sounded like elephants on the roof, we stayed on the second floor, no one was supposed to be above us. The tub was the best part.

Golfing not free if you book with hotels.com

The staff was very helpful and kind. Genuinely friendly. The room was clean and they provided additional items as needed. I thought that putt putt golf was included in the stay, but was advised that since we booked through Hotels.com and not through the hotel directly that we would have to pay for golf. I wasn’t expecting that. That was a bummer. It’s kind of why I selected this hotel.
