Booked with Expedia Specifically booked a room with the jacuzzi tub Upon arrival I checked into one with a stand up shower and theh wouldn’t change my room, but there was also an eye lash stuck to the bathroom counter along with a towel that was folded sloppy which made me feel like they re used a towel. Not saying they did but that’s where my mind went.

Real cute hotel, unfortunately my kids had lines of bites on their legs and feet after staying the night there. My oldest slept on the pullout couch, and the bed had not been made from the previous guest.

The property is super convenient to town and family close by. The service staff is lazy and unfriendly The cleaning staff of females only want to give towels and empty the trashcan I was fully dressed on my way out and the staff in the hallway said do you need anything today? I said yes full service please “she said well. I’m only dumping trash and giving towels”. I said OK that’ll be fine. Then she says go get me your dirty towels. I did not want a confrontation. I was on my way out. I was fully dressed, had my purse in my hand. I put everything down, went back in the bathroom, picked up all the dirty towels and gave them to her.. Totally unprofessional and rude.!!!!!!!!!!
