Noisy, Broken shower so we could not use the shower. The shower head was off the shower hose so it was a fire hose not a shower. Parking lot smelled of dead animals.

Just a couple of small things. The lamp desk did not work (the problem was the outlet) and for some reason after the first day there was no dial tone on the phone. I let them know about that. They were very nice.

Great Sleep. Problematic Showers
I enjoyed my stay at the back of the hotel. Very quiet at the end of corridor. I actually slept much better at this hotel than I did at the Sheraton in Rocky Hill, CT for two nights. My issue with this hotel was that the water temperature in the shower was very traumatic. It fluctuated constantly from near freezing to boiling hot every two seconds. It was very difficult to take a shower under those conditions. I was too tired after moving to make a complaint and just wanted sleep, to work the next morning. I got the best sleep ever in that room though.

Staying here without reading other reviews was a MISTAKE. The bathroom floor felt oily underfoot and there was hair in all the corners and stuck on the wall. The carpet in the room seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in years, like it was also packed with oil and grime. We stayed in a “non-smoking” room, yet the scents of weed, cigarette smoke, and other funky smells were wafting around our room and the entire property. Camping outside is cleaner than this hotel, because at least dirt can be brushed off your feet easily. I don’t know if other people have genuinely had a good experience here or if the positive reviews were written by AI, because the negative ones are accurate. The only redeeming factor was a personable staff member at the front desk. Do NOT stay here.
