Needed a quick room during a snowstorm. This was priced well, room was decent (AC/Heater was loud)…the hotel itself smelt musky…but the bed was clean and that’s the biggest plus. If you need a quick spot this is it. Night staff was kind and helped us check in easily.

Was in detached building from main building , had room near stairwell. Guests seemed loud and building was noisier than I had encountered staying in main building on other occasions. Swimming pool was not warm this stay. I have stayed here before when visiting family. This time was not enjoyable

The young lady at the counter was great at helping me fix the mistake I made on the reservation. I was having some trouble with the cancelation and rebook and she was able to assist me with the information I needed to correct MY mistake. So the staff was excellent. The room could have used and extra chair but it was all good there

Breakfast was to be available til 10. We went for breakfast at 8:35. There was hardly no eggs and limited bacon. No decaffeinated coffee. No one even came and checked on any refills. There were probably 15 people came for breakfast after us, there were no eggs and bacon was gone. No one refilled anything.
