Check-in was extremely frustrating. The reservation was made under Curtis Swinimer with my credit card, with payment to be made at the property. However, when my wife, Denise Swinimer, arrived to check in, the clerk insisted the room had already been charged. After twenty minutes of back-and-forth, the clerk finally sorted it out, but she was not particularly friendly throughout the process. I ultimately had to send a screenshot of the reservation showing that we had selected the ‘pay at property’ option.

Pros: Staff very kind and helpful. Great location. You get to customize your hot breakfast in addition to the continental breakfast. Cons: Room really needs updating. Mars, scratches, rips, old, dark. Does not give you a feeling of cleanliness.

Arrived to check in after driving over 2 hours to get there. Told him my reservation and he said it would be up to me but i reserved their last room and it had no tv, no heat and no microwave then just chuckled. WHY WOULD U RENT A ROOM OUT THATS CLEARLY NOT FIT TO STAY IN IN 2 DEG WEATHER???? We have always stayed there but will never be back ever. They left us with no place to stay 8 pm on a friday night and the ass behind the counter just smirked. Will never be back ever

Did not like the breakfast. They do not put out any hot food and it has to be ordered the day before. The picture on their ad shows hot food serving containers but that was not the option. You get 1 little egg and bacon, very disappointing.
