Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are very small, dated and not well taken care. We found left over garbage from previous guests. The room smelled and it was very dusty. It is not very well taken care of at all. The pool was freezing cold like jumping in a frozen lake in the middle of winter. The pool and hot tub were also very dirty. They definetly do not take care of them. The area behind the desk looked messy, unorganized and dirty. Overall it is just very run down and not taken care of. I would never stay here again.

Seems like a nice area. The check in at the counter was great. Once we entered the room, the beds were made up fine but there was trash everywhere. They moved us to a different room. When we arrived there, the beds were made up fine but there is food or something stuck to the chairs, pretty gross. We are only staying one night, traveling through so we are just avoiding the furniture. This app provides a place for photos but it's not working.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast, especially the eggs. Hotel was quiet even with a sports team and pets staying in the hotel. Hot tub water temp was really hot! It would be very nice if you could add a small patio and a couple chairs outside. There was no place to sit. For those who travel with their dogs there is lots of grass space to walk your pet.

$20 per dog is ridiculous. You take a credit card imprint for any damages. That should cover any pet damage, not an excessive fee for pets, the vast majority of which do no damage at all.
