Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Checking in was friendly enough. Walking into the lobby the floor was pretty dirty… we came back down to head out for dinner the floor was still all muddy as well as when we returned. Our room was okay… the bathroom needs to be cleaned up and the two holes in the shower wall need to be completely covered…. Little creepy even if it doesn’t go through to the next room. There was some patchwork done by using old plastic wall pieces…. STOP PENALIZING A GUEST FOR WANTING TO PARK AFTER PAYING TO STAY! The parking lot isn’t secured or monitored by security and to go further there are placards stating to park at your own risk…. Get real… stop being greedy.

We checked in on Christmas Eve night, and Sam was at the front desk. Although he was short staffed due to employees wanting to be with their families at Christmas, he was so polite, friendly, attentive and went beyond what was expected on a normal day to be accommodating! He is to be commended! Very grateful for making our stay extraordinary! Besides that, the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Excellent hot breakfast.
