Room was clean, however we did see a cockroach or two in the room. There are three icemakers in this hotel, and all three were broken. Also they advertise a hot tub, which is non working and according to management they are not going to reopen. They are going to fill it in!

Fine for the money

The hotel was good for the price. Clean, normal hotel breakfast offerings. It was quiet and we got a good nights sleep. TV didn’t work very well, towels were not plush, and the room had the bare minimum. No desk. However, very decent for the cheap price.

Overall it was decent for the price. Had to ask for more towels because we were only given 2 for 4 people. Also, they offered in shower shampoo, conditioner etc but were all empty. No hairdryer in the room. Breakfast was good.,

Terrible experience

It was clean, ice machines never work, tou have to empty your own trash, get your own towels from front desk, bathroom sink leaked if you tell front desk all they can say is thank you. The first day I got there was put in a room where tv didn't work, refrigerator didn't work, and telephone didn't work. So was moved to a room that sink in bathroom leaked. Never was able to get ice so had to go buy my own ice that had to put in bathroom sink most of it melted pretty quick. Had a pool and hot tub but hot tub didn't work. Beds are hard as a rock. My worst experience at a hotel ever.

Staff was very nice and helpful, the rooms were clean and the hotel is a no smoke property period so it’s so much nicer than usual. Smells clean as well. Large variety for breakfast, biscuits and gravy, sausage and bacon. Eggs, roasted potatoes with ketchup. Large variety of grab and go breakfast items as well. Would LOVE to stay here again

One of the better included hot food breakfasts we have seen. The beds are comfortable and everything is in good shape. And importantly they are dog friendlly and priced reasonably. We will be back.
