Did not know until check-in about the electrical outage that was going to be from 11 o’clock on. It was late. I was tired and didn’t have time to change hotels. Because of this I had no TV. It was so hot in my little room that I roasted because the air conditioner wasn’t working either. I couldn’t charge my phone or set an alarm and my drinks and food did not stay cold because the refrigerator was also off. It ruined my stay need I say more. Also need to mention no TV and when I did have TV there were no movie channels - really??!! I should’ve left without looking back. I learned my lesson. The only reason I gave it a four star rating was because the staff were courteous, nice and friendly. I know it wasn’t their fault. I guess I should’ve gotten an email or call or text letting me know about the outage, but I guess that was too much to expect

Getaway trip

Room looked clean but it looked unkept. The shower head was lose and the drain cap came off as well as the drain plug also came off. There was a damp spot in the rug that made the smell room like wet rag. It didn’t dry up at all so there might of been a leak.
