We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.

A pillow had hairs on it, the bed smelled like sweat and my wife and I couldn't sleep. I complained to the person at the desk, and the manager appologized, and offered a fifty percent discount next time. We will never staty there again. I hope they get their act together...
