The trash that was outside close to the property was unprofessional and disgusting. Even the breakfast "patio" had trash against the fence. I get the wind blows in Wyoming but there was a large amount of trash gathered by the back entrance which would be so easy to pickup and against the fence along the property. This didn't happen overnight by any means. There was dog feces by the backdoor as well which the staff should pickup since the owner of the dog did not. A diaper was on the sidewalk next to the patio fencing. Definitely ruins a first impression as you're walking into the hotel. A DAILY trash pickup should be mandatory around this property. It's not like the wind just starting blowing in Wyoming. We're not quite sure why management would be okay with this unprofessional appearance of a hotel. I watched staff take trash bags from breakfast outside to the dumpster passing large amount of trash by the doors and patio.
