The hotel is undergoing major renovations. We booked through Priceline so weren’t aware. Not a big deal. Staff were really nice. The lobby & entire first floor was under construction. We stayed for two nights on the third floor. Some rooms on this floor were also under construction. This was a remodeled unit. Nice. Bed and pillows are comfy. It has a full-sized refrigerator, a mini stove, microwave, coffee maker, glasses, etc. The hotel is about a 2 minute walk to Cracker Barrel, about a 10 minute drive to shops and restaurants. But … here's where we encountered our *major issue…. the water pressure in the shower ******. It was not powerful AT ALL. There were maybe five settings on the shower head and all of them had water flowing out coming straight *down. The water was trickling out. No force to spray the water to the back or even halfway back in the shower. So you end up taking like 30 minutes in the shower to properly get all the soap off your body. We spoke with a staff member who shares the low water pressure could be due to workers using it(?) But she asked for our room # and said she would inform the manager. Never heard from anyone. The second thing is due to the dust particles that flow through the vents from the renovation, my husband's allergies really kicked into high gear. He couldn't sleep really because he kept coughing. He bought allergy medication, even took melatonin but it didn't really work. I recommend calling and asking if the water pressure has been fixed before you stay.

They charged a 75 dollar pet fee on a room that only cost 65 dollars - they are pretty smug about it! Room was prepaid so I fin not know what fee would be. I’m fine with 40 but 75 - in 10 years they’ll be a no tell motel - greedy!
