All good except, found a McDonald’s wrapper on the floor next to the curtains, we did not eat at McDonald’s. TV the guide on it did not have any information as to what was on each channel. We did see the paper that told what each channel was like ABC, NBC etc.

Our stay was good, safe area, quiet and lots of parking. The only thing that I notice in most hotels offer free continental breakfast but only until either 9 or 10 am. I get it but people on vacation don’t want to rush to get up in time. This hotel was until 9am.

Hotel and room was nice. Moderately priced for a Friday night with a huge event going on. Upon entering our King Size bed room, I went into the bathroom and the smell of something very chemically powerful odor was so strong I held my breath. My husband complained to the front desk person and asked him to come smell it. He said no don’t know what that is from, never smelled that before. So we left for the evening. Leaving the bathroom light and fan on constantly the whole evening. We returned with it only slightly better. We kept the bathroom door closed and fan running all night. My husband asked for the Owner/Manager to come smell it the next morning. He said he smelled it but didn’t recognize the smell as a cleaner or fluid they use. He felt like it may be a drain cleaner used in the bathtub/shower. He said he was sorry and would talk to the staff about it. I think he should have credited or room charge at least SOMETHING, but he only offered a I am sorry. Even $10 credit would have been nice. 🙁
