Staff was nice and understand, but almost never available. Nobody was working the front desk. There was a phone at the front desk to call for help, but all it did was ring in the desk phone right next to me. Whoever was working the desk could have just as easily heard my voice or the ring.

Staff was very pleasant. Room was clean. Found a weird note on my car. Another guest? It was kind of creepy as I was only in town for a wake service and funeral and there was no security guard.

Front desk was very accommodating as we needed to checkin early for our event that morning. Room was clean and comfortable. We did eat breakfast there and it was 1/2 hour before they were shutting it down. Pretty much every hot item was gone and nothing restocked. My only advice is go to breakfast early. Everything was good other than that. I would recommend staying.

Our room had a noise that I wasn’t sure what it was, but not so bad it was bothersome. The staff were very nice and helpful. Rooms were clean.
