We really like this hotel for the most part. The room was dated but fine. The water pressure was not good in the shower and the bathroom could use some maintenance to make it look better. And we are plant based, the breakfast is very limited.

The staff were friendly checking in and out. The room was clean. The remote for the TV was horrible, you had to have it at a certain height and angle to work. The microwave sounds like it was going to break, but did work. The bed felt comfortable at first until it wasn't. Little sleep because the toilet would run then not run then run again. We missed breakfast due to doctors appointment, so cannot comment on that. Would I stay here again? Probably not. I don't like giving negative reviews, but this was our experience.

The hotel rooms had stained carpets, green stained carpets. The furniture is all scratched up, my daughters room had blood stains so we kept our shoes/socks on They charge to park 12 dollars a day and a deposit they take their time giving back to you d 75 dollars. Won't ever stay there again Oh and the breakfast, talk about a joke. They had a waffle maker, which was the only good thing, and I got their peanut butter packets. The pb packets were so old 1/2 way into opening I notice the pb is hard! And the ham slices they had on ice, OMG DISGUSTING AND GREY
