I wish you would install handicap toilet in all your rooms. This would save common folks of trying to get their butts off the toilet when it sits so close to the floor. I hadto extend my stay, so I reserved an accessible room with a walkin shower since I'm in a locked leg brace. This way, I don not have to bend my leg to try to shower in a tub and the tub/shower combos aren't at all big enough for a larger person.

Decent hotel for the price, in some areas the hotel room was a bit dirty could use a deep clean. I did not realize beforehand that it is a pet friendly hotel so there was a bit of barking. The breakfast was pretty standard.

I was treated rudely. I needed WiFi for my studies, but they seem completely unconcerned about making sure it works. The staff treated me as if I were being unreasonable for expecting them to do something other than just stare at me blankly. Clearly, they knew the WiFi was down and have learned to dismiss customer needs, acting as if I’m the only one who has ever had an issue with it. When I mentioned my complaint, the staff member claimed no one had ever complained before. I told her I was complaining now, but all I received in response was that familiar blank stare. At this point, all I can do is leave a bad review, which I doubt will make any difference.
