Everything was just fine for the one night we stayed: the room was clean, the bed comfortable. I liked the end second floor room facing the nice trees. We didn't use the breakfast, so I can't comment on that. It was a nice location for being quiet, and not too far from downtown. The staff were friendly. Thanks!

The room itself was fine, but the upkeep of the property seems to be lacking. The breakfast options were minimal, and the coffee tasted like a new pot had not been made in several days.

I liked the convenience of my room right by the door where my car was parked, so no stairs. I didn't like that Expedia said that they have an indoor pool but they do not have one on-site. We were able to get a pass to use the pool at the Aspen Lodge down the street. Also the beds are terribly hard, luckily we were only there for one night.

Staff was very nice. Bed was comfortable. Air conditioner barely worked. I was in two separate rooms two different nights. Carpet was stained and icky in both rooms. Cord on the hairdryer was filthy. I would stay here again if I had to but I wouldn’t go out of my way or recommend it.

Entry doors, windows, air conditioner and comforter all need updating. Freshening up paint will make it more appealing. Weeds and outdoor light posts make the property look terribly run down. Like the newer sink and toilet and tv. The staff are VERY nice and helpful.

It’s definitely not worth the price tag per night. AC units in the room but don’t work, uncomfortable beds and nearly nonexistent pillows. Could use a major upgrade to justify the expense.
