Angelene

Disliked: Staff & service
The pool & hot tub were not up kept and were both Freezing Cold. We couldn't even use the hot tub after 15 hours of driving. When I asked the front desk lady to check it out she had a serious attitude because I interrupted her "personal cell phone" time that she was doing while on the job. Customer Service was Horrible!! The hotel was NOT very clean especially in the lobby area and the beds were horrible to sleep on. Extremely uncomfortable. The shower head and sink spout need replacing because they barely trickled out water so it was awful to take showers and just get ready in general. I will make sure to mark this one off my list of places to stay again.
