For a weekend getaway it’s a fair price. Not too far from home. We had some noisy neighbors that didn’t go to bed until late night.

Neglected maintenance all over the property and in the room. No couch or easy chair. A bed, two straight backed chairs and a small table. Poor lighting. Heater worked well.

I never saw any staff the entire time we were there, they texted me that I could not check in until 3 (Fine) and when we got there I was very disappointed. The outlets we needed to charge our phone were behind the bed and when I looked back there there was tons of dust and actual garbage, I was the dirtiest place I have stayed in a long time and was no bargain. For sure not worth the money!
