Property from outside is totally run down. Peered in the windows of a couple of rooms and they did not look like the photographs. Felt unsafe leaving the car parked there. Did not check in even though I prepaid. Found another Hotel.

Heating was a space heater. Parking lot was slippery, had to use 4X4 to get to the parking spot. Our friends had a nicer room. Baseboard heat, a closet and a sink in the bathroom (ours was outside of the bathroom). Maybe they are upgrading and haven’t done the building we were in?

This hotel was exactly as advertised and rooms matched the hotel's pics etc. It was clean and better than I expected. It's clearly an older hotel and older building etc, but we were in town for a concert and it met our needs for the trip. One small thing: after the concert we came back and needed some more ice but couldn't access the ice machine because the office was closed. It would have been nicer to have access to an ice machine/ vending machine after office hours.
