"Bad Hotel"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
This hotel is in terrible shape. Many things broken or not fixed. No food like there used to be. They save money that way? I will not be staying there again.

"Thanks Kevin! Your site was a huge success for me and I will definitely use it again. We ended up booking a total of 44 rooms, with different checking-in check-out days, times, people, etc., and Steve has been awesome to work with. Also, Steve is making special arrangements for an "after hours" tradition.I need to make group reservations at least twice a year and I now have a website that makes that a whole lot easier!"
