Stay was ok
The hotel was not up to standard. Need to do better cleaning carpet & bathroom. Also the big thing for me was the distance to River City Sportcomplex. On your website, you mentioned 4.2 miles, it was over 10 miles...make the correction as it was the only reason i booked this place.

At check-in was charged $100 fee for contingencies without any mention of the charge. AFTER I asked for a printed receipt at checkout at that point I was told of the fee and that it would be refunded to my credit card. The check in clerk took my card and ID and was on the computer which was suspicious because the card reader was on the counter.

The overall experience was amazing. I could breathe better than in most hotels that I have stayed in. The staff was very friendly. Being able to have breakfast every morning was nice. Everything was wonderful.

The facility was beautiful. Since where were several parties in the main building, the staff offered a room in the building behind the main building and it was so quiet.

We had to pay $100 incidental fee (of which we were unaware) before we even saw the room. Have never had to pay a fee like this upfront except when we’ve travelled with our dog.
