Why would anyone expect a positive review when they give you the room right next to the breakfast room? At least put some cushions under the feet of the damn chairs. I’m sure we aren’t the first people to be given the worst room in the building. I can’t wait to get a good nights rest. Super clean and safe!

What we did not like was that while taking the 1st shower, instantly the bathroom flooded. Also it was very noisy above us. Sound like something heavy being dragged back and forth. Otherwise everything else was good.

We enjoyed our one-night stay.

We were in town for a family gathering and stayed one night here. The staff were very friendly, the room was nice, breakfast was good. Late checkout was permitted and parking was free. Plenty of restaurants very close. We enjoyed our stay!

Grounds & room were clean. The heat/ air conditioning didn't work. We were placed on the first floor, I'd avoid room 107 if you plan on sleeping in past 615 as breakfast is being served and you can hear EVERYTHING the chairs scooting across the floor,dishes clanking & people talking...thin walls left us feeling exhausted as we checked in late anyway.
