We arrived late in the evening. Check in was quick, no elevator on site so keep that in mind if you have mobility issues, random amenities in the room (2 conditioners, no shampoo) but otherwise fine visit and got a good night of sleep.

During check in we had to wait and wait for the receptionist, and when she finally came didn’t explain why it took her so long nor attempted to apologize, and didn’t even say hi, or good evening. The room was clean, and we slept well. The next morning we didn’t like that there was no staff cleaning the breakfast area, found rests of food on the floor and on the table which we ended up cleaning ourselves, and during our time there we only saw one person coming out from the kitchen to replenish the eggs. The other detail we didn’t like is that the flowerpot outside the entrance has plastic flowers. If they won’t take care of just one flower pot they may as well not have any.

Our first room smelled awful because the Ac unit was leaking all over the carpet. The second room was definitely not cleaned property with stuff on the bedding and walls. Breakfast was amazing though and they did a great job keeping it stocked. We also found out the next day there had been a tornado warning that we were not notified to go to safety
