Disappointed on several fronts

I selected this hotel because they advertised a pool and we had 3 grandchildren were with us. Upon arrival we were told the pool was closed. When we got to the room, the floor needed vacuuming and the toilet seat was broken. The free breakfast was adequate, but when grandchildren don't eat the sweet rolls they got, you know something is wrong. I booked two nights but as soon as we arrived we found out we would need to return home the following day instead of staying two nights. I informed them that evening before 11 which was the requirement for a refund for the following night. When I checked out, instead of charging me $179 per night, which the reservation clearly stated, they charged me $224. The I inquired why, they said each night had a different charge. When I inquired what the Saturday night charge was, they said they were unable to tell me. The total charge was to be $358, so subtracting the $224 that they charged me that left only $134 for a Saturday night charge. That's impossible that the hotel charges $224 for a Friday and only $134 for a Saturday. (all prices before taxes.)

Excellent hotel

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel was for the price! For one, the staff is friendly and helpful. We needed an additional night stay due to icy road conditions. We were given another night with a discount! Secondly, the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the pool was unavailable.

The hotel interior is dated and could use some renovation. There was a strong smell of air freshener that I found to be unpleasant. The staff were nice and prompt in attention to needs.

Ok, but room for improvement

There was noticeable water damage in the shower caused by a leaky shower head that you can tell had yet to addressed. The sconce and light switch in the bathroom and were also dirty. Otherwise, very comfortable bed and great service.
