No wifi, no pool, no fridge
I got stranded due to a snow storm so chose to stay at this hotel because of the pool/hot tub, the availability of a fridge to store the food I had with me, and for a desk for working.
As I checked in they said the pool/hot tub were out of use - though I could use the one at the hotel across the street (in a snowstorm?)
I couldn't connect to the wifi and was given a helpline number to call myself - spent 45 minutes getting connected.
Then when checking out the next day opened up the fridge to remove my food to discover that it wasn't actually running - and my food was spoiled.
The front desk said they couldn't give me any kind of refund because I had booked through a third party site - but offered me membership points (though I'm not a member and this experience wasn't exactly an advertisement for signing up).
Disappointing on many levels

We were in town for a Buffalo Bills game. It was very snowy and the parking lot was well plowed. My only issue was the TV didn't have the channels correspond to the guide. I was unable to locate local news r Spectrum YNN. Kind of a quirky problem with the service. Otherwise, my stay was very enjoyable.

Let me know what’s not working
Reasonable hotel but the pool/hot tub were not operating. Would have been good to know that! One of the reasons for selecting this hotel. Should notify people upon registration.

The hotel was clean and kept up well. The location was perfect for our needs. The breakfast was convenient,
but inconsistent in quality. Unfortunately, the pool was not available, which is something we were relying on to occupy the kids and the room HVAC system is terrible. We had to leave one room because it broke and the other room was difficult to keep a consistent temp.

The area was clean and quiet, however having only one towel for two people in the room was not ideal.

I have stayed at this hotel before, and the conditions weren't such as these. Because I secured the reservation through a third party vendor, they charge you a $20 incidental fee. I've had these waived before, but not this time. The hotel rep said he wouldn't charge my card just have it on file, but charged it anyway. The breakfast sucked, eggs were salty, bacon was like chewing on shoelaces, and the bagels were at least a day old and stale - I mean c'mon, is it a tragedy have a decent breakfast.
