We checked in at almost midnight for just one night after a long day and evening at an area band competition. Check-in was fast and friendly. We were happy to have a clean, comfortable room for the night. Breakfast this morning had a nice variety of options and the coffee was very good (that was important after a late night)! Although we weren’t there long, it Was just perfect for what we needed and I was very pleased.

The only thing I could say I didn't like was that there was a Muslim family there and they wanted to eat the sausages but it was pork sausages and pork bacon so of course her and her kids couldn't eat any of those things and that would be a nice suggestion to implement like beef sausage or beef bacon not only that so utensils that's being used for the pork bacon and the pork sausage sometimes people switch them around and then they turn around to be used to pick up the eggs also and that's not good especially if someone is not eating pork.

The staff was wonderful, friendly, and very efficient. Beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. However, the room smelled musty and there was visible mold on the wall by the light switch plate in the bathroom, water dripping from the light switch plate on the other side of that wall, and moisture in the air. Overall, I would not stay here again.
