We had a pleasant stay.

Great value for the money, room was okay not great not poor. Clean and modern bathroom, mattress a little tired, deck outside window rotten to the point of falling down, but you could not get out there so no big deal. We had a pleasant stay.

Everything for our stay was absolutely great. The only reason I gave a 4 star for customer service was bc it was a little standoff-ish at first until they got to talking to us after a bit. Wasn’t sure right away how our stay was going to be perceived. Other than that everyone was kind and helpful

Good stay, only missing parking space

Very nice hotel, super friendly people, comfy rooms. Only issue is the parking space, very limited and some people parked behind our car, blocking our exit...but overall good stay in the middle of town with access to shopping and restaurants. Thank you!
