My room was nice and clean. The problem I had was the barking. I was on the second floor, and I can hear dogs barking all around me. I'm not a dog person. I asked the attendant if there were rooms away from the dogs on my arrival. The front desk attendant said there was dogs on all the floors. That was disappointing. I was tired and didn't want to go through booking a room at another hotel. When my wife and I traveled, we stayed with WB a number of times and aways had a room away from dogs. My wife passed on December 26th. I was gone most of the day planning and setting up for her memorial service. Needless to say, I didn't get the rest I needed. Would I like to have a refund? Yes, I would. Even a partial one would help.

I was in town for my best friend's funeral. I chose this hotel specifically for the Website stating you had 24 hour service to the airport. At check in I reminded the clerk of that and he replied that I had to 'call 24 hours in advance'. When I made my reservation there was a 'special instruction' area where I stated I needed a transport to the airport. The clerk said that no one 'see's' that until the reservation is opened on check-in. I was without a car and over 50 miles from anyone I knew. I was extremely upset. I did get a call from the clerk stating he did find someone to transport me to the airport at 4 AM the next morning. Why would your site say 24 hour transport if that is NOT true? I was already upset. The room was disgusting. The floors in the bath area, inside the microwave, the toilet....I do have photos. There was no receipt under my door before I left so I am unsure what I actually paid. I have worked in housekeeping years ago but never have I seen such filth. I cleaned what I could with disinfectant wipes. So, you do NOT have 24 hour service to the airport and the room was really dirty. Fix your website. If you want/need photos, I have them. Room 109.

Good value

Hotel is older but fairly well updated and maintained. The onsite restaurant was really convenient after a long day of driving. Breakfast was above average for this level of hotel - we enjoyed the omelet station and good coffee. Staff were all friendly and accommodating.
