We booked this day at the last minute (two hours before we arrived). Sam at the front office was super proactive and accommodating - inquiring about our arrival time and letting us know what the procedure would be for late check-in if we didn’t get there before the office closed. The rooms appear recently remodeled and everything is really nicely done. We didn’t use the fridge, but I had a really good size. Beds were comfortable. Room temperature was great. Definitely would stay again and recommend to others.

I booked a stay at this hotel. I was given a handicap accessible room where the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and our clothes became wet. The room was poorly made and could hear normal noise level next door and upstairs. I booked a king room and was placed in a handicap accessible room that was much smaller than the typical rooms.

We stayed in room number 114 and I have to say everything was OK except for the bed for some reason it wasn’t comfortable and we couldn’t get comfortable in it. The heater I believe I’m not sure if the motor is going or if it’s the motor noise tunneling down the hallway there but it sounds like a cooler refrigerator motor running constantly pretty loud.
