Our non-smoking room smelled like smoke, but was otherwise clean. The room temperature was fine and beds were acceptable. The toilet tended to overfill rather than flush effectively. The pool and spa were closed. The desk staff were nice. Overall, could have been better but acceptable for the price.

Pet friendly and very dated. Sub par coffee at breakfast. Not a lot of breakfast items. All the walls and trim work need fresh paint - stains and chipped paint everywhere. Old and stained bathroom fixtures. Moldy shower curtain. The linens were OK but did not have the normal sanitized, bleach smell. Questionable cleanliness and sanitizing.

Staff was not overly friendly, very indifferent to if we existed. Breakfast consisted of dry cereal-no milk to be found. A waffle maker was there. No eggs. No yogurt. The bed was comfortable. The towels were hard and uncomfortable. For the price, i would not recommend.

This was the best night stay I've had on a last minute road trip. It was very quite, the bed was comfy and I got my deposit back in about 3 days! I wasn't expecting it because these places usually don't honor it but I did receive my deposit! That and how quite it was deserves a 5 star in my opinion!

The price was great. The rooms had what you would expect like a microwave, etc but the continental breakfast was lacking (all carbs, no protein). I booked a room on first floor, because of knee, but got one on second (no elevator). Little things, but things to consider.
