"The hotel seemed newish and the room was good and clean. Great regular sized pillows on the beds! Electric shade’s weren’t working right. Bathroom floor wasn’t swept the greatest.

"The hotel seemed newish and the room was good and clean. Great regular sized pillows on the beds! Electric shade’s weren’t working right. Bathroom floor wasn’t swept the greatest. The shower in the accessible room needs something to keep the water from going all over the rest of the bathroom floor. Doors to come in from the outside at the end of the hallway weren’t working…which was a little inconvenient with our room at the end. Breakfast was average. Overall nothing major was wrong as far as keeping me from staying again! Good location close to food and drinks."
