The staff communicated well with us prior to our arrival. They allowed us to stay parked in the lot while walking into town after we checked out.

There was an issue with a strange noise in our room during the stay but the staff was very polite and took care of it quickly for us by switching our room. I would recommend this hotel.

This place was beautiful and very clean. Easy check in and check out. I stayed for two days. The only issues I had was the refrigerator was not working but they were willing to immediately fix or switch it out for me. The refrigerator looked brand new, it just wouldn’t stay on long enough to get cold. It made a terribly loud noise every 5 minutes and would loudly stay on for about a minute or 2. I wish the shower had a hand held shower head because the shower was small and the high large shower head was beating on my head constantly even with shower cap, my hair got wet so I decided to just wash it and I had to open the door and step out to lather up because the giant shower head would not allow me to put shampoo in my hair, it kept beating water down on it. I needed to lather up and then rinse, that’s impossible when water is pounding down on you. Hard to lather up body too, it just keeps washing soap off immediately, no lathering whatsoever. Other than that I was happy! I would go again, but please get new shower heads. Hand helds are great and a must for disabled elderly people.

This is a very good value. Everything is in good shape and the location is convenient. We arrived after office hours and the check in was easy. We have stayed here repeatedly and will continue to do so in the future.

Good location for easy access to Downtown and local trails. For the price, I was disappointed in the lumpiness of all provided pillows and price per hour extra for late check-out. Zero amenities, but fairly clean and an okay stay.
