Looks good, bed average if not below average.

The room did not have ports to charge cell phones. Most hotels do. I had to go out to my car to search for a charging block. The bed was okay but not really comfortable. Fortunately I was exhausted so I slept okay, but not great

The check in was easy. Very friendly front desk employees. Room could use a remodel. The could do an intense cleaning, as it's very noticeable in the corners that cleaning is not up to par. Bed and pillows were very comfy breakfast was outstanding. Overall it was a nice quiet stay.

I close to the highway, but lots of construction going on in the area. Not the hotel's fault, but that also meant a lot of workers and work trucks staying at the hotel.

Hot tub broke.

I had book me a room to get away and have an evening to relax and thought a hot tub would do the trick. Only two in my town with a hot tub so I chose this one because the picture of the room with tub looked awesome. Get there and the room was clean and nice then while walking around noticed the room was not like the picture, hot tub was in the bathroom and a tub size. I was disappointed but at least it was a hot tub . Get in and the jets didn’t work. I just went to bed. It was a waist of 160.00 dollars.Could have done that at home. Very unhappy customer
