The front desk young lady was so kind and helpful. I felt very welcomed and taken care of. I would definitely stay again!

Awesome. Room was very nice and everything worked. Safe area with lots of food very close. Property is under some renovations and it def needs it but overall, especially for the price, the stay was fantastic.
Staff was nice but the rooms are very run down. They are renovating the upstairs so I am sure it will be nice eventually, but as of now they shouldn't be charging what they charge for rooms in that condition.
No hot tub, no pool, no fitness center, no breakfast. 1 great front desk worker, 1 that was good, and another that always seemed bothered by anything you needed. Room was good though. But one of my least favorite hotel stays ever.

The hotel had no power. We were not able to enter the property due to multiple emergency vehicles. We found other accomidations.
Hole in floor nect to tub. Moved rooms; next room the door lock was messed up and work table was almost ready to fall down. Last; breakfast was to be included but was under repair.
It needs some serious remodeling which they said they were planning for soon. Breakfast was not a hot breakfast as promised. Coffee and cereal! No juice or even toast.
Bed was very comfy.

Area is quiet and not a really busy place. Got snowed in and couldn’t get out of parking lot so obviously couldn’t leave, was given 2 days free. There’s no breakfast ever, not sure why it’s even Listed. Staff is nice and room was clean, was moved to another room because the microwave and fridge didn’t work. 2 vending machines soda machine accepts cash/card and snack machine only accepts money and only $1 bills and coins.
Yes, they were remodeling but the couch in the room we stayed in was extremely stained up and absolutely disgusting. I was very uncomfortable with anybody in my party sleeping on it. There was also not one trashcan in the hotel room.
Bed was very comfortable, and the sheets were clean at least
Don't stay here they do not care about their clien
I was never able to check in I do have an open case on this I'm still waiting to hear back from upper management on my refund there was nobody at the front desk to check me in apparently their employees there don't like to work and then when somebody does show up they're extremely rude and belligerent this is all been recorded not just by me but by upper management when I was on the phone with them
