Room was clean , but the bed squeaked . The water pressure in the toilet was very low . We had to continually flush twice almost every time just to make sure the toilet paper would go down . The staff was very pleasant and the free breakfast was also very good. Nice selection of options.

It was ok and a basic motel. That area has a lot of places like this. The room had no closet, which I havent seen before. The room was clean, the staff was friendly. We didn't have the breakfast, but it wasn't what we wanted. The pool was closed but it is still early for that now.

It was nice. The breakfast was good. However, our bathroom sink was clogged when we arrived. We managed though. Also, they are renovating the second floor and it was not closed off to guests. But the staff was friendly and the bed was comfy and they had toiletries in the rooms to include makeup wipes. So thoughtful. I would stay again.

Great location and the staff were friendly. The hotel definitely needs updating. The hot water didn’t work in the first room. So we had to change rooms. Then the sink in the second room was clogged up with some black stuff. There was no hairdryer and it took an act of congress to find another. Which ended up being sticky. We stay in this area multiple times a year and will choose a different place next time.
