Management was unhelpful.
The hotel was fine. Their policy of reservation being non-refundable was unfortunate. When booking on Hotel.com I put my date as 2/5. When the booking went through, it turned out to be 2/20. I hit confirm then immediately realized the error. I immediately went through Hotels.com and they directly reached out to the hotel. They were informed the manager wouldn’t be in until the next day. My husband was driving cross country and needed a hotel room. I made a reservation for 2/5 paying $40 more than my original reservation at their hotel hoping they would realize it was just a mistake. I just heard that they wouldn’t refund the money. I am out $135. Wouldn’t recommend them regardless of how nice the hotel may be. Service is more important.

1st room smelled terrible. Asked to move & was told they were booked, which was not true. Finally got the manager to move us & the 2nd room didn’t smell, but the room was not clean. They refused to move us again, so we left & went to a different hotel. They refused to check us out until our scheduled check out date.

We asked for a handicapped-accessible room and were pleased to see all the grab bars and low tub threshold. We also like the size of the room and the movable table. The only complaint was the unusually loud refrigerator.
