Great Staff - but hotel smells awful
The hotel had an awful smell. The staff was nice, but the rooms were terrible and the smell was even worse. It was extremely difficult to sleep in that

Botched reservation
I specifically reserved a room with 2 beds and when we got there, we got a 1 bed room. There were 3 of us and a dog. No rooms left available but they had a hide-a-bed couch (very old and uncomfortable) but it was for only 1 night so we made it work.

There was a mix up on our reservation. Our room was occupied. We received another room but had to improvise on how to handle sleeping arrangements for the 2 disabled members of our group. The eating area was not disability friendly.
