A decent hotel.
It was hard to find parking late at night. Breakfast was basic and showed the wear of an older building. It was across the street from the fairgrounds.

We were provided a key to room, went to open room and someone was already in the room. The people there had a dog and the dog attacked my elderly grandmother. The owner of the pet was upset at us because we were able to access their room, but it was not our fault. The owner of the pet thought we were trying to get their pet put down, was yelling at us and staff. All we wanted to as our room. Staff had to accompany myself and my grandma to another room to make sure it wasn’t occupied. Staff was apologetic, and tried to make sure things went smooth, but the process itself was super inconvenient and dangerous. You never know how people are going to react if you are able to access occupied rooms due to faulty systems.

The location was great for me. The staff was nice. The pool was clean, had to ask for pool towels, but that's Okay. The hallway carpet was old and dirty looking. Wish they had a little more breakfast foods.

The entire place just smells like someone’s basement. It’s unbearable. The hallways smell like mold the rooms are especially worse, to the point it took my breath away. My sister woke up all 3 nights with sore throat and stuffy nose from what we are pretty sure was mold in the stale air. The carpet felt moist from all the humidity in the room, everything was damp to the touch. It was BAD!! We also saw a roach crawling around but didn’t see anymore after we killed the one.

This place went downhill
Our room smelled like mold. The carpets were damp. They had a bag in the room that was supposed to be changed when it was full of water from being so damp. We asked repeatedly they never changed it. I asked that the room be cleaned they said they did not have enough help. I was there 4 nights. Breakfast was awful. This hotel has went so far down hill in the past year I will not stay here again. The only advantage is it’s close to the fairgrounds but the staff does not care about customer service

We have had the same issue all three weekends we stayed. Our refrigerator did not work in the first 2 rooms, our a/c leaked evwrywhere and soaked our items that were on the floor nearby and even though they were notified the day we checked in, they did nothing to fix it or even move us until the day we checked out, and it says you must request housekeeping services otherwise they do not come in your room, but the one time they came in our room we never asked but all other times we asked for housekeeping they never came. Also there were several homeless people sleeping on a discarded mattress in the parking lot behind the dumpster and upon notifying the front desk, they just said oh ok and nothing was done as they were still there at the end of the weekend.

Desk staff had a bad attitude no towels in the pool area and pool was very cold. Room was clean beds were comfortable breakfast however was very disappointing the gravy was cold the biscuits were cold the waffle iron the waffle cooked on the outside but was still gooey on the inside needs to be replaced the first day they didn't even turn it on I turned it on myself and had to wait for it to warm up the muffins however were terrific nice and moist the hotel itself was clean and quiet easy to sleep TV had plenty of choices of things to watch overall it would have been a very nice place if the pool wouldn't have been freezing there'd been some towels in the pool area and the front desk staff would have been polite instead of rude and acted like it was an inconvenience that I asked for a receipt upon check out one of my keys didn't work the hotel itself was very nice and comfy though and I felt safe I even slept with my window cracked open overall it's a good place just the staff and the food need to have some adjustments
