This was a very pleasant stay for us. It is an older hotel, and the pool was out of commission (as listed). The room smelled a little bit too much like cleaning fluids, but other than that it was very clean and pleasant. The owners were extremely nice and accommodating, and they were understanding when the kids that were traveling with us dropped a box of muffins. The provided continental breakfast was modest but fresh, and we appreciated the very clean facilities. We would be very happy to stay here again.

Puts most hotels to shame with how clean it is!

Was very impressed with how clean our room was! I wish they had a longer window than the 2 hours in which their breakfast is available, but that’s definitely better than nothing. Overall, was very happy with our stay and will return!

Disliked: Amenities

The guy at the front desk didn’t speak English and was not very friendly. I had to wake him up out of his hotel room to get breakfast, but really there was no breakfast like advertised. The bars were expired in 2023 and the coffee had been sitting in the pot for probably a month. Don’t be fooled by the free to go breakfast that is advertised. The bed was comfy but the room smelled like smoke and the hairdryer was from the 70s. I get that it was only $100 but I would expect this to be a $50 hotel instead. It was, however, quiet which was nice. Unless you are desperate, I wouldn’t go back.

Sheets had very obvious stains and crusty spots on comforter that we did not use. Floors were dirty as well. Heater/ac made a sound like a cow mooing every 10 minutes and everyone that stayed in room was sick for 4 days after stay...
