The buildings are on the older side but our rooms were clean and well maintained. The building door near us tended to slam shut and the AC is a bit loud. Breakfast was nice (options included toast, cereal, fruit, yogurt, muffins, waffle maker) and staff were helpful.

Although the property is a little tired, it was very clean and well located. It’s walking distance to everything. Breakfast offered coffee, tea, juices, boiled eggs, choice of cereal, muffins, toast, English muffins, yogurt, fruit and waffles. It was more than enough to get your day started. I gave the hotel an extra star for their staff. They were super responsive and very friendly. Rhonda at the front desk was amazing and extremely helpful!

Night away from it all

Cant blame the hotel for the massive power outage, so will base the score on everything else. The motel is a little fated, but spacious. Our room was a suite, which was much bigger than anticipated. TVs only worked for a bit, had troubles with them at the beggining but then worked better. Games room qas a nice touch, just be prepared to pay for anything.

Everyone was super friendly and nice. The tv set up left something to be desired, and the internet and cell service in the area was a struggle but I was able to make it through.

We have stayed here many times and have always a good experience. Staff are always nice and helpful. After a day out in the woods, we come back to our room, everything is replenished and clean and it’s great to go for a swim. Wish the hot tub worked and there was more selection for their breakfast

Conveniently located but neglected property

We stayed one night during our road trip. Convenient location however disappointed in the rooms. Musty smell, old furniture and carpet, ripped curtains, whole place is in need of a deep clean and upgrade.
