Staff were friendly and helpful! It's an older hotel, but our room was clean, the heat worked well, hot water and good water pressure. It was also very quiet overnight. We were towing an RV travel trailer and appreciated the large parking lot across the street.

The hotel is falling apart. Absolutely disgusting, stained sheets and towels, rickety wooden stairs, carpet that’s coming up, nothing had been cleaned properly ahead of our stay. The pool was gross and wet towels were there for 24 hours - didn’t go near, just saw from walking by. Hotel staff was no where to be found when checking in, we had to call to get someone to come to the desk. Slept on a sleeping bag on top of the bed. Everything smelled gross. For $150 a night you’d expect SOMETHING to have gone better.

Floor wasn’t vacuumed. Bathroom not the cleanest. Towels looked dirty. There was mold on the shower curtain. First night key machine was broke. So no keys given for room. Hotel personnel had to open your room every time you left. Shampoo and conditioner not filled.
