I was extremely disappointed.
The rooms as well as the rest of the hotel are becoming very worn. Doors, tables, and other furnishings are damaged all along their edges and pieces of veneer are broken off nearly everything in the room. It just giv

Overall, I like this hotel, and I stay here often; however, their sense of "style over substance" makes me a bit chafed. To wit:
1) The light switches over the bed's end tables are are hard to turn on and off (your hands can't grasp them since they are so close to the wall).
2) My hands won't fit under the bathroom sink's faucet (as such, I have to shovel water with my hands) (By the way, I don't have sasquatch hands.)
3) The annoying metal plate over the toilet paper dispenser. This is the most useless piece of metal on earth...it just gets in the way of mah bizness.
4) The alarm clock requires an engineering degree to operate. (As George Costanza says, "it's like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes!")
5) The glasstop counters in the bathroom stay covered with water.
6) The funk-laden bathroom rug...ewwww, just give me a cloth bathmat, and keep your fungus-riddled swatch of shag carpet.
I like to stay here because of it's unique location...next to what looks like a swamp. Just don't miss the exit off of highway 84, because it'll cost you $4.00 and a 20-mile U-turn...
