Bait and Switch
We stopped here for the night on our drive out to Wisconsin. The two reasons we chose this location were the pool (we were looking forward to a swim after a long drive) and the free breakfast. The pool area was a little gross, and the hottub was just nasty. The kids swam, but I just couldn't bring myself to get in. There was no breakfast. Because of COVID. At that time the pandemic was nearly over, and all of the studies had shown that it wasn't spread that way, but they had it closed anyway. And no reimbursement from what we paid. The woman at the counter said that yes, everyone complains about that, and that she's told the owner to take that off of their advertisements, but it hadn't happened yet. It's just overall kind of trashy. The employees hang out by the doors and smoke, letting the hallways fill with the stench.
