Cons:

I am a nurse and I’ve traveled almost 2 hours to get away from a super stressful week. To reset. I booked online with Booking.com. Arrive Friday check out Sunday as I have to start my string of 5 12 hour night shifts likely being the ONLY nurse to care for over 60 people in a LTC facility. Because this is THE REALITY of nursing! And NURSING HOMES.
I paid over $400 when I booked, didn’t realize I had booked 2 rooms 🤦🏾‍♀️ okay my fault. I laughed it off said sorry I’m exhausted. I don’t need two. He then informed me he needed another $100 cash deposit that the ATM was around the corner. Machine was disgustingly dusty. I went back and he informed me my booking only showed one adult so he’d have to charge me extra. I showed proof that wasn’t the case. (I’ll attach all proof) he did tell me I’d get the $100 back if the room was left the way it was supposed to be. Specifically no food and stains on sheets etc. well news FLASH!! ALLLL those issues were already present.

Clean but some issues otherwise
Pros:

The room was clean in a good location for my needs. The morning desk clerk was very friendly. Breakfast was devent

Cons:

The clerk during the evening when I checked it was not friendly at all and acted like I was bothering him checking in. The room I was in had a cracked window and torn curtains. Also multiple vehicles around the parking area with either flat tires or looking like they had not moved in quite some time and mail for long term residents was sitting on the counter for everyone to see. You can see 1 vehicle with flat tires in 1 of the pictures of the windows.

Too expensive for what you get.
Pros:

Beds were comfortable. Location was convenient.

Cons:

Outside trashy, floors dirty, shower works when it wants to. The handles to sink about to fall off, and no exhaust fan in bathroom for shower steam. There are holes in the walls, by the floor and the hall ceiling. Rooms dim and missing remote for TV. Drug addicts hang around hotel and closed Taco place.

Avoid
Pros:

Not much. The rooms were spacious.

Cons:

It felt unsafe with people wandering around all hours of the night and sleeping on sidewalks outside. I told the staff. They didn't care. The rooms and hallways smell...dank. The breakfast was pathetic. The pool was freezing and tiny. We are never gojng back. The towel rack was falling out of the wall. I told the staff. They just shoved the loose screws back into the wall and said, "it is fixed." The towel rack is right above the tpilet. Someone is going to get knocked out when that thing falls out.

Pros:

I liked how spacious the room was although the bathroom felt a little cramped.

The fridge kept my drinks cold.

Cons:

The bed was lumpy. I could tell where previous guests had laid because it was sagging where they had laid.
