The breakfast was a little lack luster in the grab and go category. Room was spacious and clean, but they had something that I assume is a humidifier running that I had to unplug at night because it was glowing bright colors.

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.
