Good & Bad

I appreciated the wood floors instead of carpet in the rooms. The check-in and check-out people were very friendly. There were only two towels in the room and one needed to be either thrown away or soaked in bleach!

We had rooms 101, 102, 103 for a wedding we had to attend. I guess the bed in 101 leaned pretty bad on one side. Room 102 bed was a little squeaky when trying to roll over. Room 103 seemed a little run down. However, the workers were very friendly and check in was extremely easy. Breakfast was decent for the price of the rooms. Would recommend for an inexpensive hotel if needed.
