Never again

Site says breakfast there was none after 4 days nor was there any cleaning. Key card kept deactivating for no reason. Location is very much out dated and dark. Guests running around 130-330am with management not doing anything.

Who ever rated this as a nice place to stay must have been somewhere else or paid to write that. From the outside it looked dilapidated the sign for the hotel was just a banner, parking lot empty. The front desk had no one there to great you and after standing there for minutes and ringing the bell someone finally approaches. The door key deactivates if it’s too close to a cell phone and there is no housekeeping. Free breakfast…I wouldn’t eat a thing from there and it was the bare minimum but again no one was there anyway. I tried to get out of staying the full time and the “manager” wouldn’t let me out of the stay with or without a penalty but it could be desperate for the money..again a ghost town. I can’t believe Expedia even offer them the ability to have someone book here.

Would stay again!

The hotel is very secluded, and the map is inaccurate... but just keep going down the road. They're "under construction" but it is still very well maintained and there wasn't any noticeable noise.

The staff and hot breakfast but no indoor pool, room had old items under the bed and ants on the floor. The rooms need a upgrade but it was safe place. You keep same towels until you check out and you take your own garbage out daily.

Ehh. was a place to hang your hat.

Room was decent, heater / ac unit looked mangled and was loud, ended up turning the heat off all night. Bathroom shower faucet was not attached well. Almost cold shower at 8am. Towels had foot prints on them, and were not dirty but not white, had marks on them. Sitting on toilet felt like I was breaking it, made a clanking noise. Buffet Breakfast, had nothing but waffle maker and some cold cereal, and only one thing to drink (apple juice). Vending machine would not take a card of course. Bed was comfy, and clean, staff was friendly.
