Hello Sharon, We acquired this hotel one year ago. This hotel was remodeled just after COVID about 2 years ago. I see that places need to update more often than they had to in the past. I will take it under advisement with the owner. I am happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again

Water in the shower was hardly warm. Breakfast was good but there were not enough of food for the amount of all their guests. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s ok for the price.

Response from Donna GM on 6 Apr 2024
Hello Kseniia, I am sorry about the warm water, When we have guest in the Breakfast area, sometimes the food runs low and it takes us a minuet to refill. Food was cooking in the back room to replace. Sorry that it took us a bit longer for you. Thank you for the nice comment about the staff. Yes they are wonderful.

Check in was easy, the bathroom had SO much hair on the floor piled up behind the bathroom door, it was absolutely disgusting, it was close to 11 so I chose to go to bed because I was extremely exhausted, being a housekeeper myself this is just unacceptable, our guests look for a place to rest and to come upon dirtiness and what seems to look like housekeepers who don’t care is very distressing.

It was a pleasant surprise as didn't look great as we pulled up to it. It was nicely presented on entry, clean & all round affordable. The rooms though are really small - booked originally 1 room for 4 people (2 beds) but was so tight. Ended up getting a 2nd room, equally as small but gave us space. Breakfast ok, nothing special but filled us all up for the days travelling. Staff for check in was really helpful and efficient.

Thank you for your thoughts. As we are ending winter season the outside is not in full bloom yet. Yes our rooms a little smaller then other hotels as it use to be a Supper 8. I a looking into getting smaller furniture. I take pride in my breakfast. I go out of my way to make sure that we have a large verity of breakfast items to make everyone happy. If you have any suggestions please forward to me. Thank you for letting me know about your stay with us and hope to see you again.

Disliked: Amenities
The breakfast here is thoroughly mediocre. Paper thin bacon you can almost see through, frozen egg patties, and a coffee machine that didn’t work half the time. The shower in my bedroom had almost no water pressure at all, so showering was miserable. Other than that the room and my stay was fine, nothing special.

Hello Joshua, Thank you for taking the time and leaving us your review. I have never had a complaint on water pressure. This is important and I thank you for letting me know. Coming to the front desk would have been approached. The sooner I know about something the sooner I can work on getting it fixed.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I wish there was a way to leave negative stars on here or better yet post pictures. Not only was our room unsanitary it was also unsafe. The shower was brown covered with mildew, mold and soap scum. The bottom of the shower curtain was black. The vent was hanging off the wall. The bathroom door would stick every time you closed it, so night one I got trapped in there and had to scream for my boyfriend to come get me out. The rest of our stay we had to use the bathroom with the door open (which no matter the couple who doesn’t want privacy while they use the bathroom). My favorite part though was the dirty bandaids covering/hanging from the smoke detector. When I went to the front desk I was told without asking-they wouldn’t be giving me my money back, the shower was clean only slightly discolored and if I got stuck and had to break the door down-break it down. I asked twice for the bathroom to at least be cleaned and it never happened. At breakfast the pancake machine stopped working so we asked the front desk to fix it he walked over looked at it and walked away to go sit back at the front desk. Never fixed it or even explained anything.

Dear Kara, I want to start with how sorry I am that your stay was not a happy one. I am glad you have brought this to my attention, because I was unaware of some of these problems. The bathroom door has been fixed, the smoke detector has been replaced, The shower curtains were replaced a month ago. I will definitely talk to the HK staff about this. I have talked to my staff on guest request and fulfilling them the same day of the request. I do apologize for all this. This saddens me to no end. I do hope you will give us another chance.

We found the property to be quiet, staff very helpful and courteous. However, the room was small and musty. Also, got bug bites from bed and husband found a cockroach.

Hello Karen, I am sorry that you experienced this. I do have to say the I have had the exterminator's in and they told me that we do not have bed bugs. I am sorry I don't know what bit your husband, but He did find two rooms with cockroach. I have just finally (legally) exited my last squatter and the exterminator told me that that was the problem. The two rooms and the sounding rooms were treated and they will be back in 3 weeks to treat again. Again I am truly sorry that you had this happen to you. We are remodeling this winter, taking out the rugs, smaller furniture, and other things. Hope you will give us another try this summer. Thank you for your feedback
