Breakfast was pretty weak. Super tiny breakfast area. Had to go down the road to a sister hotel to use the pool and hot tub, which was not real convenient. But the price was very good, room was clean, and I guess you get what you pay for.

I was a bit nervous about staying here after reading some other reviews. But when we got there, the lady at the front desk was super welcoming and friendly. Then we went to our room, number 106. I was really surprised at how clean it was, and it smelled so fresh. The room is a bit old-fashioned, but it was really cozy, and everything worked perfectly. The bed was soft and comfy. The TV was a Roku smart TV, so there were tons of things to watch. The fridge worked great too. The room was super quiet, we didn't hear a soul. We could park our car right outside our door. We even went over to the sister hotel to swim and use the spa. They were also really friendly and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again.
