There was not much to choose from in this town so we ended up with this one. Its old and out dated. The bed wasn't bad but needed more pillows, and it didn't have the bedspread that can be taken off and washed after ever stay, so you just have a sheet and blanket that I'm pretty sure doesn't get washed after every stay. I would not stay there again. Breakfast was pretty awful too, not much to choose from just sausage and some kind of flat eggs. I hate giving bad reviews but this is not the kind of place you want to stay in when you're on vacation and the cost was outrageous! It was a hundred dollars more than any other night! Never again!
