The room we stayed in was a nice size but not cleaned very well. The couch and chair was pretty battered. Because of being an older hotel it showed a lot of wear and tear. Breakfast was good. Pool was clean and nice for children.

Suite unit nicely appointed, staff very friendly & helpful. Management assisted in arranging a longer-term stay at a reasonable rate. New equipment in exercise room. Nice breakfast includes hot entrees (e.g. sausage, eggs, biscuits/gravy). Quiet & convenient location. Nicest hotel overall we've stayed in for quite a while!

The hotel felt safe and the staff was kind. But it was not the cleanest and was very worn. Our room had one plate, and just a strange collection of utensils and cups. Most all of it was still in the dishwasher. So, it’s a fine place to stay if you’re on a budget, but if you can spend a bit more, I would.
