Great location for us, and the room was large with plenty of seating. Staff was lovely and the place, while a bit old (the tub area is a bit in need of work), it is clean and comfy. We stay here often and will continue to! Love Room 232!

This is a lovely clean hotel with fantastic staff on the front desk. I was expecting a “motel” but it turned out to be a modern well designed hotel at a great price. Pool was warm in February too.
