The building was quiet and roomhad proper curtains for room darkening. But the room and hallway had stale old smell. The king bed sheets were clean, but so old the elastic on fitted sheet didn’t keep the sheet in place and were yellowed and scratchy. Also lotion bottle I was opened and half used!

Not bad

The clerk at the front desk was friendly. I wish they had more hot food at breakfast. All they had for breakfast was a waffle maker, milk, Sunny D, coffee, white bread and toaster, and Raisin Bran and Froot Loops and coffee. The hairdryer in my room (217) didn't work, but I brought my own so it wasn't a big deal. The room was clean and I liked that they had a laundry room. The pool is closed. There is no workout room. Overall, it was a good value and I'd stay here again.

False advertising

Upon entry i noticed a very over powering odor of insence.... they were nice enough to allow us to check in early... when we returned after our plans we were disappointed to find out there was no pool or hot tub(even thought they were advertised).. beds were comfortable though... hoping breakfast is edible

The rooms there were very Elegant and comfortable. What they lacked in cable or a decent TV they made up for with the hot tub in the room. Yeah, you heard me right hot tub in the room! Not to mention the waterpark accessible to all guests. Amenities or plentiful the cleanliness was impeccable the staff… They were present at least. Not much can be said about them because they were only at the front desk if I were to call. Outside of that, my whole experience overall was extremely pleasant would definitely visit them again.

We were not able to drive into the property, we had to drive through dumpsters of another business to get to the hotel parking lot. None of the stated amenities were available (no pool, no sauna, limited breakfast menu). No elevator. Room was as pictured and the bathroom was clean and the lighting in the bathroom was really good.

Good For The Money…

Very good place to stay for a budget. Beds were very comfortable. Room was very clean. Only 2 complaints is the pool was closed and this app does not update to let you know. Was looking forward to going swimming. Second, there are No towel racks whatsoever in the bathroom to hang towels. At least in the room we stayed in. Never got up early enough to see if there was any breakfast. Said you get a “breakfast item”, but again, never checked it out. Would I stay there again? Probably.

HoJo - Stay again. Hotels.com - Never use again.

The staff was excellent - extremely kind, helpful and friendly. My only problems were with hotels.com itself. The fact that I had a split stay may have been confusing to the site. Regardless, the non-user friendly booking charged me double what I was anticipating for the final 2 days. The "refund insurance" should have been a red flag that this probably happens all the time. A virtual assistant should not be the only resort to address the situation. Enjoyed my stay, but the last 2 nights would have cost me $192 regardless if I stayed there or not. It was NOT worth the money I paid.

Sadly to pool was temporarily out of order. Its an old hotel with some new modifications. The bathroom was newer, the beds were good. The lobby is newer and outdated and paint is interesting! No free ciffe or popcorn even though their was a sign stafing so. Continential breakfast was ruff/ok. They need more options. $100/night is a littke pricy. Bathtub had pubic hairs and dirty wall by sink. Smaller sized tvs. Hotel had dust in some areas. Nice outdoor lighting. Overall it was just an ok place with a wierd vibe!

I would not recommend ever coming here. I stated that I needed a first floor room due to a broken ankle and I was put upstairs anyways. The guy was not very nice about it and also charged me an additional $50 for "incidentals" which was not mentioned at all on the website... I was too tired to argue and figured I'd take it up with the manager in the morning so we go to door 3 which is where our room is and walk inside to go up the stairs... The smell was absolutely horrible and the carpet looked like it never seen a vacuum ever. Upon entering our room it didn't smell much better. It had a strange funk to it. However, it was sort of clean. There was hair in the shower and the tub doesn't look like it gets properly washed. Bed was also old and uncomfortable and the "headboard" was scratched up. The property supposedly offers Continental breakfast.... However their Continental breakfast consisted of only a vending machine and a microwave. We were down at 7 am for breakfast so it isn't like it was 11 am and the food was gone... Id never stay here again and don't recommend anyone else does either. If I could give 0 stars I would.

I have NEVER been treated badly by a hotel as I was here for which I am requesting full credit of my charges. I will never recommend this property.I was in town for a family funeral, check in the first day went well. On the second day, upon my return from a funeral I found the lobby dark, no one at the front desk, later learned there was a power outage.I called the desk from the room phone but there was no power, then from my cell phone but no one answered despite several calls.Going to the front desk, follwing a large black man who was upset about the poiwer outage as he lost internet connection. Not knowing if he used the front desk phone to call the attendant as noted by a sign at the front desk, so I called out IS ANYONE HERE? With no response,I slapped my palm on the counter twice, finally a man followed by a woman came from the office behind the front desk asking what we needed.We responded that we wanted to know about the power and were told it was out for Appleton. I said I just drove through Appleton and there was power.Likewise nearby businesses had power.I then said that my room had not been cleaned or linens changed and was told they dont provde housekeeping services.I asked why, but was told they dont.The man then began to berate me for slapping on the counter, telling me not to do that, to use the phone; we both said the phones dont work! He then told me to get out, that I cant act as I did towards him!I was outraged and stated that.Please contact me directly.

This is a decent hotel with comfortable and updated rooms. It's about a mile off I-41, very convenient to several strip mall stores and to the older downtown part of Appleton. The pool is inop right now and the breakfast very basic, but I would stay here again.
