I got a king suite that had a jacuzzi in the room. The jacuzzi bottom is cracked on the inside, dirt stuck inside the jacuzzi because after I put water in it, I could see it would barely drain the water out of it, so no way they are able to get it cleaned properly, needless to say I took a shower and checked out of the room, so screwed out of the first nights stay.. looks like they charged for the second nights stay fifty dollars, which I will not complain about being they did not charge the full 238 dollars. Hopefully they dont.. if they do tomorrow, then I do not know what the 50 dollars is for a charged me for. they said they would not charge me for the second night being I was only there yesterday for about an hour.. I get I have to pay for yesterday and I am ok with it.

Check-in was easy and the room was great. It could’ve been cleaned a little better as we found some hair in our jacuzzi tub and a cigarette butt on the floor.

I called to advise a late check in and was told it would be ok since I called and would arrive after 9pm then when I arrived I was told my king whirlpool suite room had been overbooked after driving 4 hours to get there. I was told I could only have a standard queen bed room for the same I paid for the suite and the toilet had toilet paper in the bowl and the beds were half ass made with a broken refrigerator.

Room in my opinion was not very clean. Looked like it had not been vacuumed in a while. The sink would not drain properly and the tub looked like it had a blood stain in the bottom.
Is this blood or rust?
Unacceptable

Everything is great, just check the restaurant hours before you plan your meals. The smoke was an issue as I am a non-smoker but others wise good time.
