Great location next to the bus/train station! Price fine except parking is half the price at the station of your traveling and need to leave your vehicle somewhere. Hotel is fine, nothing fancy but has all the essentials. Was disappointed that limited staffing in the winter season caused shortened pool hours and no breakfast Mon and Tuesday. Bed was below average but I’ve had worse.

Front desk guy seemed high, and not in a positive way. Interrupted my check-in for a five minute conversation with the shuttle driver that could’ve waited. Overall a dump.

Business trips or couples only

The ad was very misleading. The amenities were non existent. The hotel itself was outdated but the room was comfortable and clean. Nothing onsite to eat and vending machines had $3 sodas and scarce. No breakfast unless you charged it to your room. The staff in the cafe were rude to children. 3rd shift staff very un personal . The pool hours are wrong it closes at 8pm and the hot tub was luke warm. No drinks allowed whatsoever in pool area you will be asked to leave. Nothing realisticly close for food except sketchy gas station. Not very family friendly. Would recommend highly for single or couples only

Don’t stay here

The place is run down. I specifically asked for housekeeping and it never happened. I’m not a slob just wanted trash emptied, towels restocked. Didn’t happen. When I expressed my discontent the answer was “Sorry we were busy”

The staff were rude. When checking in at 630pm the desk staff was talking to his coworker about something random not focusing on me and when I'd ask a question such as why I needed to give him my car number because I booked online he explained but gave me an attitude like I was interrupting his conversation. The overnight deal clerk was rude too I asked if they could replace the broken Keurig and the answer to me was "we don't swap those but we can get you a different room if it's that much of a problem" I was like no it's fine. They have no snack vending machines the breakfast is expensive and the room smelled musty.
