“Horrible End of a Long Drive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

We were twice told to pay a pet fee for our service dog who is clearly marked at all times. Not only is this offensive, it is completely illegal. The rooms were dingy, damaged and dirty. The bottom of my three year old's feet were black just from crossing the room. The bedding had holes in it, the tile was grimy and the walls had scratches and dings. The people next door tried continuously to open the lock adjoining door even after being told to stop. The first gentleman we spoke with was very nice, even though he claimed we had not paid for our reservation and we had to show him email confirmation to make him believe us. The second person was rude, condescending and incredibly difficult. A letter will be sent to headquarters about this situation.

“Dirty and smelly room.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

The rugs and curtains where dirty and the room smelled very nasty. Also when you turn on the water on the shower it came out brown.The ice machine in the building I stay was out of order. The price is good, but the condition is horrible!!!

Room Tip: Don't stay there!!

Dear Guest
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the inconvnience
We did have some renovations done in your building for the water,
that may be why the water was not really clear at this time but now everything is better
if you feel you would like to give us another chance please contact me at the hotel.
My name is Laurent, Manager at the hotel
thank you and have a nice day.

“Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013 via mobile

Never again I will stay there, first of all it smelled nasty in that room nasty curtains don't even close all the way you could hear everything outside, when I turn the water on to shower and the water was brown and nasty, the pillows were extremely horrible pricing is good but is not worth staying in a nasty hotel like that this is the 2nd time I stay there and I have learn my lesson never again. NASTY HOTEL DON'T RECOMMEND IT FOR NO ONE
