The bed linens were clean, but seemed old, especially the pillows. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. The furniture was older. The chair cushions were stained. The bathroom tub had a crack in yhe plastic that seemed to have already been sealed previously.

Spend your money elsewhere.

Very old and in very poor condition. Whole place is run down and dirty. Needs a complete renovation. Pictures and description online must be for another hotel.

It was ok for a one night stay but it’s very dated & drafty. There was a large gap on top of the door leading to the outside. It was clean but not immaculate.

Need to improve pillows for comfort. Stacked my two and it wasn’t enough. The dark blue bed spreads were a turnoff and would have preferred white or light colored . The dark colored has the potential to mask so much !! The place seems to have good bones and an upgrade would go a long way to success.

Wonderful Staff, Excellent Hotel

The staff was wonderful. Despite having multiple issues that popped up entirely of my own error, the staff was amazingly polite and wonderful! They were incredibly helpful during my issues and were able to help ensure they were sorted. There is ample parking in the lot surrounding the property, the room I was in had around 10 spaces within a few feet of the pathway. I did see signs showing that the location was pet friendly, to include seeing a few patrons with dogs. Overall the location was clean, seemed well put together, the rooms were delightful in their style and simplicity. Perfect for my travel needs.

I requested a king and paid for a king size bed. The you checking me in asked if I was by myself and erased my room number and put a new one. I didn’t check my room when I checked because I come here every 6 weeks. But this time they gave me a queen. I couldn’t talk to anyone when checking out either bc nobody was there at 845am.
