We were denied our guaranteed room
I travel with a Service Animal and proof of her certification. I was told after arriving at the hotel, despite the fact I had sent an email telling them I was coming with my Service Animal, that I could not stay. I believe this was illegal. They stated “we don’t take pets” several times. I corrected them in the statement that my Service Animal was a pet.

Das schlimmste Erlebnis punkto Hotel.
Es war so schmutzig dass ich nicht bleiben konnte. Auf der Komode waren nich zwei Gabeln mit altem Essen angeklebt. Auf allem war eine Staubschicht die schon sicher ein 1/2 Jahr alt war und der Teppich hat geklebt. Eine einzige Katastrophe. Ich war viel unterwegs auch in meinem Berufsleben aber so etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt. Eine Gutschrift auf meine Karte habe ich auch nicht bekommen mit dem Argument das es mit dieser Buchung keine Gutschrift gibt. Für mich nicht verständlich da das Hotel den Vertrag nicht eingehalten hat. Macht einen weiten Bogen um dieses Hotel. Wir haben bessere gefunden ganz in der Nähe

Bad experience
Upon arrival, there was no running water. We were not able to shower or use the restroom for hours. The hotel did not even reach out to any of us due to the huge inconvenience. Pay the extra money and stay somewhere else.

Hotel could use some TLC but it met the basic needs. Restaurant & shop next door was a nice bonus. Breakfast burritos were yummy!

Gross, Seedy. Thoroughly disappointed.
Not maintained for even the bare minimum. The young girl checking me in couldn't explain an extra misc charge on my receipt. Lucky reading reviews I was privy to this random extra charge that I couldn't get out of. Overall we stayed only one night and lost the money on the second night, the carpet is disgusting I didn't want to walk barefoot in the room. Beer cans and garbage left outside of the rooms. Just awful, felt so grimy and dirty in the room, especially for the price, as the drive from the hotel back into the park is so long, steep and windy and feels forever it's just not worth it for this exorbitant priced run down motel. Zero on upkeep and cleanliness.

It was the dirtiest place I ever stayed in. Broken chairs walls filthy. I thought I was going to get bit by bugs. No automatic lights going to unit. Shower leaked all night long. Horrible!!

DO NOT BOOK here
The amount you booked thru expedia app is not accepted and they will charge you a different amount on site. I do not understand how is this advertised on the app. Be careful! Do research thoroughly before booking. There is nothing that expedia can do.
As for the room/ property, it should be rated as a motel, not an inn.
Their check-in time is 3:00 PM. That is literally 3:00 PM. If you come in 30 minutes prior so you can check with the customer service, there is no one in the office. You’ll have to wait in the hot car until someone will come to the office by 3:00 PM. So plan your travel accordingly.
The sheet was dirty, bedsheets showed hair underneath the pillow and there were crumbs around. Dust was all over the vanity area.
