Room was fine. However the whole reason we booked the deluxe room was for the jetted tub, and it was not in working order, so that warrants a poor review.

The room was very dated. There was an awkward large closet that smelled like urine and the area felt very unsafe. If we would have been there for anything other than fire and ice (and all hotels being sold out), I would’ve left. Front desk lobby is very nice and the employees were very helpful though, but the room needs some serious updating if not rebuilt from the ground up. And take an extension cord. There is not many plug-ins in the room, or lights for that matter.

Room was old and dirty, carpet ripped up with a sagging floor underneath. Stains on walls. Ants crawling on tables, and different bugs in bathroom in which I’m pretty sure one was a cockroach.

Well, where do I start? First I tried to upgrade my room because I had another person joining for the trip. I called about 2 and a half weeks before my tay to make the changes. I was told the change was made, they even told me how much was added to the price of my reservation. I asked if I was going to get a confirmation or anything and the gentleman said no, but I definitely made the change. Well we got there to check in and the front desk attendant, said that the reservation wasn't updated and that they were full so I was stuck in the original room.... 3 grown adults on 1 queen bed..... They did have a rollaway bed he brought over, at no charge he said. Thankfully he didn't charge for it. I wouldn't buy that thing for $10. It was extremely old and beat up. Squeaky and not even resembling anything of any comfort. When we settled into the room, noticed there was trash under the bed from a previous guest. Makes me wonder what else didn't get cleaned. There was also a woman hair claw clip under there too. We went out for the evening and enjoyed the springs. We got back to a completely full lot with no parking so we had to park behind the property in the RV park. Upon our return to the room, we wanted to shower. When we turned the water on, there was no hot water. Luckily it got almost Luke warm so we were able to survive a quick rinse. The location of this place is probably the only good thing about it. I was far from expecting anything fancy or luxury, o
