The breakfast was minimal. They had 1 large gallon of milk for everyone to share. This was also the same for the Peanut butter. After the last few years and health issues, I thought sharing out of a container was weird at best and unacceptable. We stayed 3 days but did not utilize the breakfast but the first day and none of the community share items.

This hotel isn’t new. I was a little concerned when I pulled in. The furniture isn’t new but the room was spotless. There is a full size fridge and toaster as well as a microwave. The shower hat hot water and great pressure. The staff was friendly, kind and accommodating. No matter what they were doing they helped me right away with a gracious manner. It’s my opinion that anyone that gives this hotel a low rating has forgotten what they paid for the room. Very nice. Especially for the price. I will stay here next time I’m in town.

All the parking spots were taken because of the construction! The lobby’s air freshener is over powering and gave me a headache. Our room smells a bit like mildew and stale old smoke. Our bed sheets had hair on them, and stains.. I had to ask the housekeeper to change them. The bathroom floor is gross and has hair that is NOT ours and scattered throughout. There were hairs that were also NOT ours in the shower as well!

Not great

The room was dirty and it definitely should not be rated an 8 as shown in your app. According to google it is rated 3.5 and that is closer to the truth. They did move us to another room which was better but overall it was an old style motel.
