Every thing was okay, we have stayed here many times without issue, but this time our room shower, had no hot water at all. Im not exaggerating, not even luke warm. We had to take freezing cold showers. Not so great after a 2 day sports event. I was hoping the hotel would make it right somehow, but they just said " sorry " .

Unfortunately the reviews about poor cleanliness were true. The bathroom floor was literally the dirtiest floor I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to a lot Of third world countries. It’s basically black in all the grout and my child’s socks were completely black walking on the floor. I had to apologize to family members who also got a room there because of me because they had pubic hair on their bathroom floor. One bed was supposed to be a king it was a double or smaller. And all the beds were horribly uncomfortable. It looks like they renovated a few years ago and had cute decorations but it was very poorly kept up. There’s no staff in the office so it probably contributes to the poor upkeep of the place. I do not recommend unless your just looking for an average Motel that is not clean or comfortable.

Check wasn’t the easiest. Waited at least 15 minutes before having access to their kiosk. The connection was so terrible that it just kept restarting itself. Had to wait for a front desk associate to come back to lobby to physically check myself and other waiting guest. Aside from that, everything else was fine.

It was a very unique check-in/check-out process where it was like a zoom or teams type of meeting where they were on the screen rather than in person waiting for guests to join. There was some technical issue on checkin but the manager on-site showed up to get me checked in and with a code to get into my room. That was another difference in that instead of a phone or card key to get into the room they had doors where you entered a code.

They need to have someone at the front desk at all times. There’s a virtual check-in terminal that takes you to someone overseas. They’re not helpful. Pretty long wait to check in. When an actual in-person human helped us out, things moved quicker. Probably a 20-30 min wait to check in and only 3 of us in the lobby

There was no front desk person - it was virtual check in, which could be problematic for some. Flimsy IKEA type chair at my desk and when I sat down the leg broke and I fell onto the floor. There was a strong smell of cleaning solution when I walked in. There are no TV channels on the TV - just networks, prime, etc.
