Made the reservation for 2 nights on Expedia. Looked for a pet friendly place, we had dog. When I was checking in, I let them know we had a dog. She then said there was a "$100 non-refundable deposit" for the pet. If its non-refundable, its not a deposit, it is a fee, call it what it is. She said that because we made the reservation through a 3rd party. Should take my $100 "non- refundable deposit" and clean the stains in the carpets in the room (not from us).

The cleanliness of the hotel was good. The beds were very comfortable. The carpet needs to be replaced but other than the disrespectful drunks with their foul, offensive language and parking arrangements of their trailers that took some much needed parking spaces; it was ok. We will NEVER book again if the “Rod Run” is scheduled to be there at that time.

Less than Expected
Definitely disappointed. I wasn't expecting amazing. I was just wanting an average stay with a dark room to sleep in. Well, the room wasn't dark, and the room was barely on the lower end of average. The room didn't have carpet like it showed in the pictures. Cheap LVP flooring was very warped and if you walked from the bed to the bathroom, it required shoes unless you like the bottom of your feet to be black and sandy. Shower didn't have enough pressure to rinse the shampoo from your hair and the bathroom sink faucet leaked so bad that you'd soak whatever was on the counter around the sink. Plus, pet friendly means that you get to pay an extra $100 when you get there b/c there isn't a place to say that you are bringing a pet on the booking form. The front desk clerk blamed that on the 3rd party booking site I used. Also, I am surprised that the fire marshal doesn't have a problem that the 3rd floor is only accessible from the back of the hotel via one flight of stairs on the very end and one very, very hidden handicap ramp. I could have stayed with family that live in the area and thought I would make things more convenient by staying here. Bad move.

Upon arrival we discovered there are no elevators to the upper floors. Just ramps which is hard to get up and down. They were slippery coming down. Our room had hardly any hot water and the tap in the tub was broken so we were able to switch rooms the next morning with no issues. However the original request stated I required a bath tub but our second room didn’t have that and it wasn’t worth the room change once again The pool wasn’t cleaned and there is no housekeeping without requested it. Dirty towels and garbage were picked up outside the room. Someone will leave towels In a bag outside your room if requested. The location was great. And the staff were always texting to see if we were happy or needed anything.
