Internet wasn't working, and their idea of troubleshooting was to just turn our wifi connection on our devices off and on. Then they said "I'm sorry, it doesn't seem to work," and left. No alternative offers, didn't say they were going to call their tech support or ISP or anything. Also, the toilet took approximately 10 minutes to refill after each flush, and the bed springs were very lumpy.

DO NOT STAY HERE! The manager double-charged me, claiming that he never got paid through Expedia. He refuses to give me a refund and Expedia will not help.

All basics covered!

Hotel was not fancy but it was very clean and had all the basics anyone needs. The room had a full size fridge, sink, and microwave which made it very convenient to store and heat left overs. Bed was very comfortable and I slept well all 4 nights. I would stay here again. Thank you!
