so we booked 2 rooms 1 a regular double queen bed room, and the 2nd a suite (for the other half of the family), while we were exchanging late b-day and xmas presents...the brother in law decided to do a room sweep ...upon finding a used needle and taking it to the front desk...about 5 minutes later while looking under the couch..he stumbles upon 3 leg fetish magazines in a brown paper bag...ok so if it was just us adults it would have been kinda funny...and given us plenty of material to make jokes about ALL night...but..there being a toddler who loves hiding in cupboards...NOT cool....we were all so repulsed and angered, the desk clerk had refunded the room upgrade cost (10$s)...much to our dismay thats it...seriously...an incident like this i think requires more than that....
aside from the named above incident....breakfast...was hardly impressive...blueberry muffins...yummy...if i only liked blueberry muffins now....eggs and sausage that had been put out at roughly 530 am...and i went for a quick visual of breakfast at 6 (which is when breakfast is SUPPOSED to be served...nothing special...you're better off going to bob evans...
but to start thw hole check in....i have an 8 month old daughter who i had in a light full sleeve onsie and light pants so i open the door to the room to find..NO HEAT...its 22 degrees out..and the room reflects that every degree.so we fiddle with the thermostat thinking thats all that had to be done...and leave for about an hour...coming back...still no heat...ok so tyr it again, another hour later...still no heat..so FINALLY after giving in and asking the poor guy (justin btw, nice guy.) for some help..he informs us its the usual select heat/cool on unit model....ahhhh ok...hmm you think they would put that on a note some where...like..under the thermostat unit maybe..so we get the room nice and cozy only now...it being 3 am...no one can sleep b/c the heater has a mind of its own!...the thermostat is set to 64, and the heater unit is on low heat...we're all roasting...even the baby is cranky b/c its to warm for her to sleep....
this was a planned vacation...BUT we ALL regret it....btw...best ribs in town hands down...is Alex's...head back on 98 take first left about 1/4 mile on your right....go into the "carry out" door...and get atleast a half rack of ribs...!!! they're worth the 25$s if you LOOOOVe and or CRAVE BBQ...only takes 20-35 minutes and is totally worth it....dont go in the main door...out wait in the restaurant would have been an hour..but only waited 20 mins at the carry out door.
oh did i mention the "heated pool"....its warm if you're a polar bear...but for us humans its cold enough to make you regret hopping in with out the toe test...but my self and the daughter sat on the 1st step for 30 seconds and hopped out due to her poor little 8M old body shivering up a storm. none of us were impressed....and will not be staying here again..
