Hotel is old. Cleaning is very surface level. Bathroom floor dirty in the corners, etc. crumbs on comforter on one bed and what appeared to be a dirty comforter on the other. Only one younger lady running the show when we arrived. She was very polite and accommodating. You get what you pay for. But I would not pay more than $60/night here. Regardless time of year.

Beds were awful. Didn’t give enough towels. Continental breakfast was terrible… it was barely a breakfast. The door for the room had a gap in the side that you could see outside. Good thing was the pool was nice and clean.

It was our second time staying here. It nice and not overpriced. It was remodeled some since last time. The swimming pool is clean and nice. My only problem is the driveway is very dark and the road so it's hard to see where to turn in at night.
