Waffles rock

For the past year or so, I've stayed at the Bison a few days, every month. It's a very quaint, affordable, and comfortable hotel. I like the location, everything just about, within walking distance. The staff is friendly. The waffles for breakfast everyday is a huge perk!!

The morning front desk woman was wonderful! The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The property wasn't very nice. There were small pieces of litter on the floor in the hall, including someone's fake fingernail. Everything in the building was humid and muggy even in the room with the AC blowing. It did not smell fresh anywhere in the building.

They locked out us out after seeing us pull up they are told us they were open all night. They had water coming out of the bathroom floor after you showered, limited breakfast options, no availability to make tea, stained carpets, set a towel on the foor to dry it after the shower it turned yellow, bugs in the bathroom. Doors to rooms that don't open.

I was scared and thought I had made a mistake when I waiting for 30 minutes to check in. Once the staff arrived she made quicker work to get me checked in though. The room was clean, air conditioner noisy and tv didn’t work. The breakfast was standard but could use some regular tending to as the coffee was out. Overall a cheap option but I might opt for a different chain instead. The best part was the bed was comfortable and pillows were ample.

Smells like mold, the room was not clean, poop on toilet seat, shower so gross I didn’t even want to use it, bed bugs, fixtures falling off, toilet wouldn’t flush, front desk tried to tell me I had to plunge it myself but it was due to it running, didn’t even stay the night. I went to a different hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
