Let me start by saying that this hotel is more like an upgraded (slightly) Motel 6. The pictures of the grounds and rooms are VERY misleading! Room (although we only stayed for about an hour before deciding on another hotel) seemed clean but small. Our balcony overlooked the parking lot (not what I look for in a vacation) and a SMALL pool. The hotel (MOTEL) offers no real services or amenities, and the staff, if you can find them, is basically useless. We explained our situation (that we weren't happy with the hotel and would be leaving immediately) and were told that the MANAGER (from all of the other bad reviews, you'll figure out that the MANAGER is NEVER to be found when there is an issue to deal with) is the person who we can discuss or refund with. We moved on and decided to deal with this when we got back home. BIG MISTAKE!!!! We did contact Book-It.com (during our vacation) who scheduled or trip, and they never called back. Now, two weeks later we're finding out that the Hotel (MOTEL) wants to charge us for the entire FIVE NIGHTS WE BOOKED because they said we smoked in the room. WE DIDN'T!!!! But, even if we did YOU'RE CHARGING FOR FIVE NIGHTS??????? There policy, by the way, is to tack on a $100. cleaning fee if, in fact, you do smoke in the room. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT A RIPOFF!!!!!

Dear frank l,
Thank you for leaving a review for us. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our wonderful and brand new property. Our property does offer certain services and amenities to all our guests such as a free modest breakfast, free parking, free Wi-Fi, and free concierge services. We do have pictures from past guests that have been posted throughout different websites such as TripAdvisor.com which can give potential guests a general idea of the layout of our wonderful hotel and spacious rooms. When a guest does have to depart early we always appreciate being notified in advance so that we can help the guest in every way possible especially if they have booked through a travel agency. All of our beautiful rooms are non-smoking and we adhere strictly to this way of life (We do have a designated smoking area by the pool). The reasoning behind this strict policy is that we do not want people with allergies ending up in a room that has been smoked in by a previous person. If someone smokes in a room we have to use special care and special products to sanitize and free the room of smoke and residue for the next guest. We do hope that the confusion with the travel agency has been resolved and that you will give our wonderful hotel another try.
