Average and a bit overpriced for what you get

Overall this place is average, outdated but clean. The staff was very loud in morning, and the rooms not very soundproof. I was very disappointed that I was told the hot tub was available, then when I went to use it was closes for "maintenance". A manager told me that the chemicals were off and needed to be adjusted. This seems like something that should be done before business hours.

Staff were helpful and courteous. Facilities were clean, well maintained. Room was clean and surrounding noise, both hallway and rooms next to us, was non existent. The inn is right next to the highway (convenient) but once inside you could not hear the traffic. Would definitely stay here again!

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Room and common areas were clean and inviting. For the price of the stay, I feel the breakfast could have been more robust. The microwaved breakfast sandwich was actually pretty good but feel breakfast bars and canned peaches was a bit lacking. Only one kind of tea available. My expectations were a little higher based on the cost of the room.

The location and price worked well for our one-night stay during our trip. The people at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. The place is dated but everything in the room was clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was granola bars, fruit cups, and a choice of two breakfast sandwiches. Not the full hot breakfast but good enough for our needs. All in all, not bad for the price compared to others in the area.
