Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Reviews and property signage indicated rooms had been renovated. I did not find that to be the case at all in the room I occupied. Carpet was dated and stained in a couple places. Room smelled musty. Had to get a room deodorizer from staff. Bathroom had shower tile from the 70's. Bathroom needed some paint as door jambs and lighting switches all were apparently greased stained. AC unit was old and continuously cycled on and off all night. Refrigerator and microwave did look new. It was a last-minute choice, and you get what you pay for in those instances. Because of limited availability in the town the price was increased substantially from the normal rack rate from what I saw online. Owner was nice in the minimal contact I had with him. Would be hard pressed to recommend this property.

Bathroom was dirty. Staff were nice. Breakfast was packaged muffins and cereal. $385 for two nights seemed steep for what it offered. Was the last option available for the weekend. Would stay somewhere else if possible.

Great place for last minute stay. Everyone In our party (3 rooms total) did mention people above were loud. If you’re a light sleeper, I would recommend staying on 2nd floor. Bottom floor you hear everything. Didn’t hinder our stay but may be important to others.

The room was dusty, and was proven dusty the next day as it floats thru the sun rays. Hallway stinks like poop, the guest from top floor even asked us if we can smell gas like smell.

It was good for an over night stay, nothing too extravagant but it checked off all the boxes.
