Our room needed work... toilet ran, heater/ air was loud and didn't seem to display a correct temp. TV reset itself every hour. Staff was very friendly. We let things ride as they weren't initially noticeable and we didn't spend too much time in the room , and let them know the issues at checkout.

Impressed. It's a designated 'no smoking' facility, place was super clean, rooms super clean, in great condition and all was quiet (we were on the back side). The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise as it wasn't advertised. That said, a tad better quality options would be nice for us picky eaters :) Overall, we had a great stay and really appreciate what they offer for a fair/reasonable price. Would definitely stay there again.

The room was a pleasant surprise. I expected a dated, older looking hotel and room, but the condition of everything was in great shape. The morning continental breakfast was especially nice and the little lady behind the counter was friendly and fun to talk to. I found the hotel to be an unexpected gem and will stay there again the next time we head in that direction.

They have three handicapped parking spaces with is insufficient given the many seniors that stay here during the summer and fall season. The parking lot is poorly lit with many holes. Will not stay here again.

Check in was easy. The room looked good. The business center wasn't working. They are almost finished with remodeling but not quite. My sheets had a couple spots that seemed not completely clean but otherwise older but nice hotel
