Room was clean and quiet. Beds were a little firmer than I like, but that is the only thing I would change! The staff was so nice, the whole place was so clean and the area was convenient. There's a gas station across the street and restaurants too. The BREAKFAST! Oh my goodness! It was the best hotel breakfast I have ever had.

Paid for poolside room and wasn't given a pool side room and still charged the same rate. Sink in room was clogged, all wall outlets were so worn out you couldn't charge anything. They had one person working both the front desk and breakfast area and the food was complete out when we showed for breakfast. No pool towels at the pool. Main issue I saw was just lack of staff

Good enough.

Quick check-in. Clean rooms. Bed wasn’t very comfy. Pool was freezing. Breakfast was okay. Was good enough for us for our State Fair stay. We’ll stay again.

Easy check in & out. Clean, we do a pretty good check before settling in. The bathroom was on the smaller end, husband is 6'4 so yeah the older establishments tend to be that way. One entry way in the back smells bad. Did not have that anywhere else. Plenty of places to eat or run to the store.
