Our check-in staff member was VERY helpful and informative. The one who took over from her didn’t speak to us at any point. It is an older facility, but serviceable. We were, unfortunately, quite disappointed in the breakfast. No one was checking on the hot food supply, so there was plenty of sausage, but only the tiniest of scraps in the other pans. We made do with cold cereal.

We liked everything about this hotel except they need to focus on cleaning. We had trash under the bed and old used soap in the shower. There were hairs on the bedding and pillows. Other than that the place was exactly what we needed for the weekend.

Did not stay. Have contacted the property multiple times for a refund with no response. My father’s surgery was cancelled so I was no longer traveling to the area. I cancelled within 4 hours of booking and have received no response on a refund.

Mediocre

This place was fairly clean, but lacked comfort. We stayed in a King with fridge and microwave. The fridge hummed so loudly it had to be unplugged to sleep. The heater did not function properly, so the was no controlling the temperature in the room. It was quite cold and the bed was made only with a sheet, thin fleece blanket and very thin coverlet. We stayed for 4 nights and barely slept the entire stay. The bed and pillows were exceptionally uncomfortable. It was rare during the time we were there that someone was even at the front desk. Then when we arrived later than 11 one evening, we had to figure out on our own that we had to use an alternative door to get inside, as the main entrance was locked. The last night we were there, the doors were locked before 11pm, but there was someone at the desk. All in all, it was too much money for the accommodations. We will not stay again.
