Nice people, not a great hotel

Front desk personnel were friendly but the hotel is old and it is showing it's age. Neither television received any channels and every time the AC turned on it sounded like someone dropped a tool box in the room. That meant that I did not get a very good night's sleep at all. There were also two temporary fans at either end of the hallway and a musty smell but no explanation was given. There are other hotels in the area, and I would recommend those instead.

Comfy but needs a refresh

This is still a good place to stay. Hotel could use a refresh. Been coming here for 20 years. Breakfast is so-so. There is no swimming pool. Beds are very comfortable. And, the service is excellent.

Check-in was great, Check-out not so much. They would not give me a receipt at check-out because I booked through you. Next time I'll book through the hotel. Also the room had a lot of dead ladybugs and a few live ones. There were dishes and silverware in the dishwasher.

I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The owner and manager refused to help me with a reservation issue even though they were on premise. Their reasoning was they were off duty. They did not return any of my calls either.
