My room was nice and clean. The problem I had was the barking. I was on the second floor, and I can hear dogs barking all around me. I'm not a dog person. I asked the attendant if there were rooms away from the dogs on my arrival. The front desk attendant said there was dogs on all the floors. That was disappointing. I was tired and didn't want to go through booking a room at another hotel. When my wife and I traveled, we stayed with WB a number of times and aways had a room away from dogs. My wife passed on December 26th. I was gone most of the day planning and setting up for her memorial service. Needless to say, I didn't get the rest I needed. Would I like to have a refund? Yes, I would. Even a partial one would help.

Last Minute Stay
We made a last minute stop off on a road trip from Chicago after 18hrs of driving. We were exhausted & just needed a place to rest. Most hotels within 30 miles were fully booked, and Hotels.com had this one left. It was actually much nicer than I anticipated. It was pretty on the outside, and the lobby was nice. The bathroom is outdated, 2/3 lightbulbs burned out and pillows left a lot to be desired, but it was quiet and safe. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was typical of a hotel.

I paid for the room in advance and the hotel clerk said I had to pay for an upgraded room because it's first come first serve. When I said that wasn't right, she said it was hotel policy but managed to get us in the same room without an upcharge. The thermostat was broken. We literally had to remove the cover to change the temperature and the ac was loud and clunky. The shower was cold. There were people hanging out in the parking lot.My husband said it was unsafe for me to take our little terrier out by myself.

Very nice accommodations at such a reasonable price. Just a quick stop en route to Central Florida but staff was great and everything was clean. Omelet station for breakfast was delicious and a nice touch that was different from the bland breakfast most hotels have.

They were more than kind (had a pack of cookies for us on entrance). They did not overprice their bottled waters (0.50 cents). The pool area was very nice and clean, saw a pool-man check chemicals, towels at the pool to use as many as you wanted and a basket to return dirty ones to. Housekeeping brought new towels in a bag and hung on our door (3 day stay) because he had "don't disturb" sign up. Offered hot breakfast which was fairly good, and even had someone cooking up omlets in the dining area. Allowed dogs, but very clean anyway.
