If it wasn’t for Josh at the front desk going above and beyond we would have left day of check in..as for the room there was a certain door that didn’t leave and an access door to the outside that was sealed up. But to top it all off on the last morning before check out there was an earwig crawling across the ceiling… I will never stay at this hotel again. There are other hotels in the area for around the same price that are much better quality for what I paid.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was fast and very friendly. They provided a miscrowave when we asked about it. This arrives very quickly. However; waiting outside for my friend to park, the air in the front entrance was filled with cigarette smoke. The room itself had a tiny bathroom; the sink and mirror were not even in the bathroom but in the shared area, as you first come into room. Your knees practically hit the door when sitting down on the toilet and there was no fan in the bathroom at all. There was a big smear of something gross on the bathroom door to stare at while using the facilities. This was a low-quality budget room (at best) at premium price. I will never stay there again. Quite disappointing overall.

Although the Staff were friendly and clearly working hard to done their jobs well I feel like they are set up for failure with the odd layout of the lobby and reception desk. It was also disappointing that the pet friendly room that was sold as pets allowed ground floor had no ground floor access and a surcharge for pet, which, my bad for not checking, but I had assumed was included in the high room price. The room layout was also odd with the sink in the hallway instead of the bathroom. Overall the hotel is strange and inconvenient when travelling with pets. Book one of the other hotels with pet friendly rooms.
