Good enough for one night, shower and bathroom was nicely cleaned, linen was a little dated in the pillows are pretty old. Hallway carpets in area just stink like tons of deodorizer. They could use a good steam cleaner. But again for the price I paid good enough. Staff are really helpful and lovely

was a little disappointed in the free continental breakfast, only coffee, cold cereal & waffles. No donuts. I expected a little more for $150 per night. room was clean, but the beds were a bit uncomfortable, well used over the years. All in all it was ok.

Place was good, stay there. But never through Expedia. They rip you off. So I stayed for two days, booked through Expedia at 158$ it was told to me $158 by two front desk clerks, so I make sure I have $160 in my account so I don't need the cask deposit. Well I check in and it's $183. I didn't mind paying the extra $20 but I'd like to have known before I had no other option at check in and now I need a security deposit because I didn't leave $190 in my bank account. Never will I use Expedia again. (The property was super cool about the deposit in my circumstance, and helped me out a lot and we're very helpful, I was leaving the country and couldn't wait a week for the $60 to go back on the card so she finangled it that she used it as part of the bill and gave me the cash back. Super amazing, she didn't have to but she was super helpful. I will remember that always. (Oh and she helped me make my waffle in the morning apparently I suck at waffle making)

It's an old inn that shows signs of regular upkeep. Some rooms allow smoking, so there's a faint lingering smell throughout. Breakfast is pretty minimal, though they do serve waffles made by the receptionists, which adds a quirky touch. The main draw is the pool, hot tub, and sauna—while small, they're very clean, which is definitely a plus.

Although it said non-smoking it reaked of stale smoke. The carpet had cigarette burns and the bathtub was disgusting. The odor was so gross. The breakfast was 1 waffle that the ftont desk had to make, white or wheat bread and yogurt. They charge an rxtra $15 if you have a room with 2 beds and you use the second bed!! The maintenance had an ac vover outside and it was caked with grime and dust like 2 inches long. From the smell of the room, they have not cleaned their ac covers. They were charging a guy $30 for housekeeping to come during his stay.

Great value

Definitely a budget place with some interesting characters and a multitude of rules such as only one waffle per person for breakfast. Can’t beat the amazing price and free parking, though. Secure WiFi for your room. Mattress is comfy. Rooms are clean.
