Room 1, had some mechanical issues with what was explained as a fan issue, loud noises. Room 2, next room tenants were loud and possibly doing recreational drugs. Room 3, thermostat seemed like it wasn't working, explained as the thermostat is locked. That issue was corrected. We inquired about possibly getting another room, but was told, "at that point we would refund your money, with how many times we moved you and have you go to different hotel." Which is a bit rude, as we are guests in your hotel. I understand, it is bit inconveniencing or frustrating, but the issues resided with the hotel and maintenance, not the guest.

Not Your Best...
After driving all day , check in was fine. Our room in the corner was great until Sleep time. I realize it was a Saturday nite but around 10'ish the party started next door...Around 11:30 , I believe some female quests arrived making it worst . I went down to the desk to change my room...No sense in asking them to be quiet..I will ask for my money back

The room cleanliness was a little subpar. The pillowcase had mildew stains and the room needed to be cleaned better. The location was excellent and I enjoyed the breakfast. Staff were also very helpful.
