    There’s been a lot of damage done to that beautiful room! The divan is broken, scuff and scratch marks on the walls. Such a shame!

    We have been returning to our honeymoon suite here for 6 years and it’s sentimental for us, we’ve always loved how that room was decorated and the huge hot tub

    Another person walked right in front of us while checking in. If we wouldn't have stepped out of the way they would have been standing on my feet. Wanting soap for rooms. And they ran out of soap. For the price we paid we would have expected a bed that wasn't so old. Fitted sheets and furniture that the upholstery wasn't peeling off of. The whole place reeked of Marijuana. Evidently the no smoking policy doesn't apply to the permanent residents there. And only applies to cigarettes. The towels were stained bad. And the hallways were gross.

    The desk clerk was a really nice guy

    Room was ice cold. Heater didn’t work. Fridge didn’t work. Told the guy there that we want our money back and he said he wasn’t authorized to do that but did give us another room. However that room was ice cold and we had to wait an hour for it to warm up.

    There was no breakfast or coffee.

    Room was somewhat clean. Only one washcloth. Bugs on bathroom ceiling. I got up middle of the nite — when I returned to bed .. bug there as well. (No bed bugs/ TG). The drapes were half off rod & way too high for us to fix. Place has good bones but need lots of attention!!

    No breakfast or coffee. Booking stayed both.

    Very run down, badly stained carpet, torn curtains, broken lock on the door, refrigerator did not appear to work or at least was not on, flashing lights in the room made it hard to sleep, could hear people in the halls until midnight, uncomfortably hard beds, lumpy little pillows

    The room had two queen beds and was available when we really needed to stop for the night. It had a microwave. The bathroom was clean. The linens were clean. The price was low.

    I did not feel secure. My room would not lock properly. The fold over lock had been busted or something as If it has been broken into or something. There were men sitting in a van out back as I was unloading for a long time (4 men) I couldn’t understand their purpose in staying parked out back. With my room not locking properly, I just did not feel safe at all as a woman traveling alone.

    I liked the lay out of the room & the worlds largest covered wagon out front plus the location.

    There was old garbage out in the hallway that you could smell when you walked in. We arrived an hour after check in time and the room wasn’t ready. The room is listed with a full hot tub but it’s a spa bath. The light fixtures were either broken or missing covers. Th e toilet ran the whole time. There kids who I think live in the hotel running around outside of our room. I could go on….would not go back.

    The sheets were clean and for the most part the room was clean.

    The room was run down, the tub and sheets were clean but the wallpaper was buckled, there were holes in the walls, the bathroom door didn't latch, there was layers of dust, the edges of the floor were not vacuumed and we found "something" behind the night stand that we didn't want to touch, the tub didn't drain because the drain handle was broken, the smoke detector was hanging, and there was a dead spider in the ice bucket.

    You had to call a phone number and wait to get staff to the front desk. But when she arrived she was friendly.

    First room we checked into my daughter opened the nightstand between the beds and their were drug needles and syringes inside. Now I wont judge previous guests, but thats a major housekeeping issue. Then there no clean towels in the bathroom. We were subsequently moved to a different room and had no issues.

    I had stayed here years prior and had no issues. Now it's under new management.

    the room was vacuumed however below the headboards were piles of cigarette butts the rooms smelled awful very uncomfortable atmosphere. The walls are paper thin I could hear every time the people in the next room walked across the floor, every time they opened or closed a door every flush. it was awful

    I liked the covered wagon in front of the establishment made it easier to find
