Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First impression was not great. It had been a week since a big snowstorm, and the parking lot was a disaster. Where were the plows?! I almost slid into 3 cars because no one had plowed in nearly a week! Then, it took me forever to get checked in, which gave me plenty of time to look around the dingy lobby and start getting a bad vibe. Once I finally got to my room, I was immediately greeted by the unmistakable pungent odor of wet dog. So, I immediately took out my phone and found another hotel and left without staying another minute.

The bathroom needs help. The light in the ceiling was like a strobe light and the toilet needed shims, so it didn't rock back and forth. Otherwise, a reasonable place to stay!
