The hotel was a little off the beaten path but it wasn’t too crowded and the room we stayed in was very nice it was a two room suite and very quiet and clean we have stayed in many other high end hotels that were nowhere as nice as this one for half the price

The price was great, however, we selectes the room based on the pool. They said it was being renovated. When we arrived we saw the pool area and it been down for a while. There was a tree growing in the pool area. Also, our first room had blood stains on the linen. We were given another room thankfully. The room cards kept turning off, and they had to reset them 4 times during a two night stay.

Although the workers were polite and friendly, this place needs work, and possibly new management. You get what you pay for is very true out this place. What was once probably a quality Best Western is now a run down Rodeway Inn. Exercise space, pool, arcade all out of order for “remodeling”. “Hot” breakfast was toast packaged in ziplock sandwich bags. And sheets with stains that should be replaced. For simply a bed, this place works. For a vacation stop, spend a little more and avoid that intersection of Melton, or you’ll be in for a disappointing experience.

Great price. Housekeeping needs attention. The room was spacious but was not cleaned well. The bed was made messy. There was hair on the floor in bathroom, tub and faucets were outdated and room had no towels. But the plus was it was half the price then surrounding hotels and restaurants were not far from property

The outside of the hotel was an eye sore, but the room itself was nice. The members of staff were pleasant, when you could find one. We had a broken toilet seat that was never fixed and there was only one ice machine that worked. The pool, gym and media room was closed. Oh and the “grab and go breakfast” was a joke. My family was there to experience the Dunes, which was awesome! However with none of the hotel amenities available during our stay we had enough. So much so that we returned home a day earlier than planned.

Atrived at 9pm for a 3pm check-in. She was rude. Told us the room was not clean and not ready. When asked if she received the reservation (from 3 weeks ahead) - she said yes but made zero apologies for having to sit in the lobby while they cleaned the room that was supposed to be ready at 3pm. Cleaning lady was very kind, apologized and stayed to make sure we were okay. The electronic keys provided did not work - for a room 3 doors down.Deadbolt did not function so had to put suitcases against the door since we were not sure if someone else would have keys to our door. The light over couch bed was motion activated - NO WAY TO DISABLE IT! the whole night one of us turned in bed it would turn on! Mold on the celing...really NEVER AGAIN! THE ABSOLUTE WORSE HOTEL WE STAYED IN USA.

Expedia misadvertised. The listing said there's a pool and exercise room. Technically there are, BUT THEY'RE permanently CLOSED. The property apparently used to be a Best Western and has transitioned to Rodeway, which has closed the pool, the fitness room, the snack shop, the bar, the ice machines, and everything else they could. There were Keurig in the rooms but no coffee pods because the clerk said they no longer provide them. Yet they left the machines in the rooms!!! Even the drinking fountain in the lobby is closed. Breakfast was white bread, bagels, butter, and jam plus some dry cereal and tiny muffins. Very sad. Our rooms seemed clean except the carpet, which was filthy and turned white socks black. The only redeeming qualities wer the beds being quite comfortable and the linens decent. Expedia owes me a refund for MIS advertising.
