This is the 2nd time we came here this summer within a little over a month between visits. We booked it solely based on its convenience to Mountain Creek Waterpark and for it being cheap, ....but not so cheap really, rather its more reasonable than the mountain creek lodge rates- we only stayed a night anyway. And we also had a satisfactory first time experience.
I originally gave it 3 stars, thought it was a pretty decent hotel for what it is, cheap and convenient. However, upon the second time checking in, it seems as if a whole new management has taken over. Walking through the halls to get to our room, we were greeted by a funky odor that smelled like gym sneakers. The halls were also on the dark side, to possibly save energy I guess. The room itself was a bit stuffy, and we had to play around with the a.c to adjust the temperature to a comfortable one. And even then, it still felt weird. This time, the sink water had a horrible odor when I ran it. Sulphur-like and putrid. When I opened the fridge to cool some stuff, there was already a jug of water there and oranges on the shelf, ...from the people before us? Do the maid(s) not clean the rooms entirely after each person checks out? And speaking of maids, I didn't see a single maid's cart when I was there...I was only there for 1 night, but I figured I see at least one on the day of check out which was late morning. The first time I was there, I saw a few maids on both days. The only other staff I saw besides the front desk person was a creepy but nice little lady who stood around the desk, though I'm not sure what her job was.
They give a complimentary breakfast, and wifi is free. Breakfast was mediocre though, expired yogurt- only 1 day- but still-, make your own waffles, and cereals. Coffee and tea is the best thing there. There's a deli next door to run to when you want something more fulfilling, but it closes early I believe. I would not 5 star recommend it, but would suggest it to those who want a cheap, convenient place to crash, not expecting fresh scents, butlers, and gourmet meals. its the place you come to when you want to spend a night or 2, but no more. I would like to give it 3 stars, but 2 would have to do for now. They need to make some improvements. read more
