As one of the more expensive properties in Shelby I expected more. Some one had thrown up in the elevator and the stench was there for my 2 night stay. The a/c unit grinded on starting..very noisy woke me every time it started. I heard people walking overhead through the night. People were at the fire pit outside well past midnight laughing and talking..poor sound insulation.

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the last 5 years. The elevator has a pronounced smell similar to vomit. Since Covid, the cleanliness of the hotel has taken a turn for the worst. It’s beginning to show its age with scuff marks around the shower area. Also, one of the gas fire pits was not working. With the significant price increase in the last two years I would expect better quality.

Very poor service trying to get a room ready for us. Was told they were full and no clean rooms. For 1 hour and 25 minutes??? Not Acceptable!
