It’s an older hotel but did the job. We all slept fine, shared a meal, enjoyed a pool only ( hot tub broken). If you don’t like to glamour this is not your place.

The facility was clean and convenient for our trip. The entry key stopped working and I could not find staff to reset it. Nice breakfast but again no staff to get help on questions and needs. We got by. The checkin fellow was efficient and friendly. The owner need to clone him.

The rooms were great, 2 TV's worked well for March Madness. I was surprised by the flourescent light bulbs as LED's would save them money and help the environment.

It seems like it was a nice place to stay in its glory days. It has been a while since then. I'm normally very kind and lenient with reviews. However, there were some things that lowered the rating

This is a smaller property, but the room was spacious as a mini suite. The staff was friendly. The price paid was very good for the value.

We checked in at 9:30 pm and the breakfast area had not been cleaned up from that morning and there was a pan of scrambled eggs still sitting there! Hot tub wasn’t working, our bathroom had water damage on walls, and the kitchenette in our room had no dishes or cookware.

Weather caused us to miss our stay, but they were very accommodating to help us donate our stay to the local emergency housing shelter.

The stay was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent. Room was very clean and spacious. The one thing I will point out, and this is getting to seem typical at hotels, the toilets are very low to the floor. So, if you are a tall person or someone with bad knees, you will feel like you are on a child's toilet. The hotel is located in a very nice, safe, area with many food options within walking distance.
