Only thing that I disliked was the fact when rooms were being cleaned and we came back they only had 1 towel/wash cloth when we booked for 3 people. When asked they said they were behind on laundry and would get them to us but never did. Other than that great place. Will stay again

Great stay for the money

The was a great stay for a two-night weekend couples getaway. The room was comfortable and clean. A little worn, but still nice. The price for the room was very reasonable and the overall experience—location, comfort, breakfast, service, parking—made it a place that we would definitely visit again if in the area.

Room was clean, however we did see a cockroach or two in the room. There are three icemakers in this hotel, and all three were broken. Also they advertise a hot tub, which is non working and according to management they are not going to reopen. They are going to fill it in!

Fine for the money

The hotel was good for the price. Clean, normal hotel breakfast offerings. It was quiet and we got a good nights sleep. TV didn’t work very well, towels were not plush, and the room had the bare minimum. No desk. However, very decent for the cheap price.

Overall it was decent for the price. Had to ask for more towels because we were only given 2 for 4 people. Also, they offered in shower shampoo, conditioner etc but were all empty. No hairdryer in the room. Breakfast was good.,
