"The stay was okay - There wasn't as much to do at the hotel as I was hoping for. There are limited places to eat with your dog. Our TV kept freezing even though it was seemingly hardwired. It didn't feel like the value was worth the money spent."

"One ice machine worked, most of the ice/vending rooms should be condemned. No hot water for the shower Sunday. My room wasn't as described. The fridge was sitting in the middle of the room. This place was in disrepair and dilapidated. Very poor experience."
