Musty room cigarette burned blankets
Cons:

The room had a stale smell to it. I went to the lobby and asked if I could get a couple of extra blankets to put on the floor for my 1 year oldn grandson . The lady brought 1 very thin blanket I asked her if we could have another one. She brought us another . While setting them on the floor I noticed they were musty and had cigarette burns (I mean seriously). I never even sat on the bed. My grandson was clearly uncomfortable and unsettled in that smelly, cigarette burned blankets room. I went to the lobby and told the lady behind the counter that we were checking out because my grandson wasn't settled.The lady literally took my key card and shrugged. We weren't even in the room for an hour. She could have at least offered a partial refund or something. Her just shrugging her shoulders was just rude. We will NEVER stay there again and I will never recommend this place to anyone else either.

The hotel is way over priced!! Should be $80 a night not $175 ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Our room smelt like a heavy cleaner, we opened windows to air it out and left for several hours. The comfort and sheets had stains on them. The one double bed made a squeaky noise. We would have left that hotel, but it was 8:20pm and we had driven for 9.5 hours!

Pros:

The people were really nice.The rooms were beautiful and redone

Cons:

I'm a handicapped man. They put me on the 3rd floor make you walk up all those stairs. That was too much, no elevator and it nearly killed me. I would not stay there again.
