Clean but age is starting to show.

The building itself was in decent shape, You could tell that some areas was starting to age. The lobby area was in excellent shape and looked great. Phones inside the room did not work. I stayed with a pet. I believe the room smelled the way it did because it was a pet room. It was bearable but I did expect a little more. The family running the hotel were all very friendly and most spoke very good English. No problem there. The grounds were well taken care of, I did not use the pool but it looked just fine. Could use a couple of maps around the hallways and rooms for the hotel itself due to the layout. Most of the updates or upkeeps need to be done on the exterior of the building, ie extended stay building. Overall very good stay fairly reasonable prices for the area and I would recommend it to other people.
