Booked what we thought was a hotel with a pool, but their pool was pretty rundown looking and closed for maintenance. It was very disappointing, definitely wouldn't have booked it had we known beforehand. Room was clean, beds were ok. Will probably stay somewhere else if we find ourselves back in that area again.

The room was fine, clean and included all the basics. However, the walls and first floor ceiling are "paper thin"! I could easily hear normal conversations from the rooms on either side, and a lot of noise from the room above. Lastly, there is no "breakfast" -- only three Hostess pastry selections and coffee.

The young man at the front desk was in training, and everything went smoothly and professionally. There is a place to eat next door, as well as a coffee shop. Food was really good, as well as the service. Room is clean and bed is comfortable. Would stay here again
