Probably the first guest of the season. We checked in on a 40 mph windy day. The clerk did go out of her way to find us a room with a working TV. 3rd try. Ice machine was MIA and the hotel coffee machine was a challenge to figure. Water was hot, The smoke alarm was doing the spring robin chirp. Staying in this hotel was an Indiana Jones adventure.

Staff tried to put us in a room with a queen bed when we prepaid for a king. They did move us. This is an older hotel so don’t expect much.

This place was DISQUSTING! The room was not clean at all. There was a towel hanging from the door when we walked in. The bed was unmade and clearly slept in before we checked in. The trash was not taken out and lights were left on. The check in process was terrible since we had to call the guy 3 times to even tell us where our key was. We didn’t even end up staying here because it felt like a health hazard.
