Convenient location. Hot tub was great. Bed was good. Poor ventilation, walls were not clean and peculiar odor in the hallways. Leaking sink faucet and partially stopped up tub drain. I reported the drain but nothing was done.

Would Stay Again

All of the staff here were absolutely the kindest. Made things clear, listened, and assisted with every need. The hotel itself is not the most updated, but it isn’t “nasty” either. Loud noises outside sometimes bc of the adjacent liquor store, but not an issue later in the night once it’s closed. Indoor pool/hot tub is cool for the people traveling with littles. Small, but efficient gym. Decent complimentary breakfast with a lot of normal hotel options.

The property is old and in need of renovation. Also, the bathroom smelled rancid. The chair in the room was very worn and the lighting in room was dim even with all lamps and switches on. Bright spot was the breakfast.

My only complaint is the carpet in the hallway on the 4th floor. I don't know if the carpet on the other floors are in the same condition. The carpet smells bad, is heavily worn in some areas, and should be replaced ASAP. The room was clean. The bed was good and the shower was great. I was also impressed with the rate fir one night.

I paid extra for the hot tub room. The hot tub Faucet does not work and it is unusable. They evidently knew it was broke and put me in the room anyway. They did offer to put me in another room at 8:30pm after I called about it 3 hours prior. The folks were friendly.

Relatively quiet. Easy to get to. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was on the 3rd floor. Could hear people (children probably) running up and down the halls above us. The furniture, couch and chair, needs to be deep cleaned or replaced. And the hall way carpet needs a good cleaning.
