The front desk person was probably the most friendly clerk I have met in many years. Air conditioner worked fine. There was no breakfast of which I was aware. Bed was comfortable. Decor was nice, but the carpet should probably be replaced, since it was very worn. I would stay there again.

This was a very pleasant stay for us. It is an older hotel, and the pool was out of commission (as listed). The room smelled a little bit too much like cleaning fluids, but other than that it was very clean and pleasant. The owners were extremely nice and accommodating, and they were understanding when the kids that were traveling with us dropped a box of muffins. The provided continental breakfast was modest but fresh, and we appreciated the very clean facilities. We would be very happy to stay here again.
