Hotel is conveniently located near the railroad station. The room was clean and accessible although some maintenance was lacking. Breakfast with powdered eggs makes me want to rate this hotel as closer to average.

Overall this Beat western was a good selection as it is very convenient to dining, shopping, etc. The breakfast buffet was good. Staff was excellent. My only suggestion is for pet friendly options: the grass around for them to use needs to be as good as the grass in front of the hotel. Didn’t feel comfortable taking out small pet there, even though we were charged a pet fee. Would stay here again if in the area.

We had a party of 7 with 4 rooms total. Easily accessible to downtown with a short 5 min walk. The balcony is nice to enjoy in the mornings on. The happy hours are nice with a small selection of drink available in the dining hall but it gets really hot in there.Breakfast is decent, and they do have a large selection. Rooms are a little outdated, and the A/C’s need replaced, we all had to turn our thermostats down to 60°f to cool the rooms down. The motorcycles come through in the middle of the night, sit in the parking lot and rev their engines to see who could be the loudest.

We were disappointed. We informed the front desk that we had left our room at 8:30 and requested the room be cleaned. When we arrived at 2:30 the room was untouched. We were tired and wanted to shower and rest and we couldn’t. We were informed that new incoming customers were a priority. Not happy
