Disliked: Amenities
The toilet seat in the bathroom had cracks and chips in it that had been filled with caulk. This wasn’t the lid. Restaurant was out of most things to make a basic hamburger such as pickles and tomatoes. Tried to charge meal to my room and the bartender said system was down. Tried to pay with credit card, and he couldn’t get machine to work. Said I would pay with cash and he said he couldn’t take cash. Upon check out I showed pics of toilet seat to counter person and she said I couldn’t get a refund because I went through a third party to book, which was Expedia and the refund would have to come from them. I still don’t have a refund and now they have this terrible review. Overall great customer service! Not!!!!!

Would stay again

Great location for a concert at the Moody, and comfortable. Could hear the road noise from our room, and the parking fee of $35 plus tax was a bit high. But the location made up for this, and would stay again. Did not have the breakfast or use any of the other amenities so cannot comment on that. There is a Denny's also on site, which is another food alternative.
