Was confident for staying during the state fair but rooms were pretty dirty around the baseboards in the bathroom and felt unsafe outside of our room. We told the front desk we wanted towels and cleaning service when checking in but that didn’t happen.

Wd didn't feel safe even going inside. Appeared to be a high crime area, homeless on the property outside of the building. Then we read the reviews, and they were terrible. No wonder the rate was so cheap. We were willing to eat the cost and went elsewhere.

We went down for breakfast @ 9. They were out of almost everything and they didn’t offer to make extra eggs, bacon, sausage gravy. They said another group of people had eaten 3-4 plates of food and they ran out. This is unacceptable to me. Check out was at 11:00 why should I have to hurry down before the food runs out. They could have made more food and restricted those who had multiple plates.
