It was just wonderful comfortable quiet and very clean. It’s a bit dated but that doesn’t bother me. I look for clean quite comfortable rooms and this is perfect. Pool was heated ..and the restaurant inside was very good!

The room was very nice and it was quiet. The biggest disappointment was the advertisement of a pool and hot tub, which is why I chose this property over others. Turns out the hot tub has been eliminated. If you're looking forward to soaking sore joints, stay elsewhere.

Bob at the front desk was great. The accommodations in relation to the cost, did not compare. The bed was very uncomfortable and to get to our rooms was horribly lit. I wanted a nice evening for my wife and I as we were visiting from out of town. The hot tub is out of service and the fitness center was less than desirable. These may seem like really trivial things, but when they are advertised and not available, it leads me to be an unhappy customer. For a one night stay, the price does not reflect what we were offered.

Weekend
When I checked in a customer came up to the desk and was using bad profanity. It was awful and I felt uncomfortable about the situation. My room was so far away from the elevator and I had so many items .

8/10 Very Good

The hotel could use a few updates. The location feels safe, and well lit. The AC was very noisy, and the vent into the room is over the bathroom, so the all the odor comes into the sleeping area. The hot tub is no longer functioning, and you don’t know until you arrive and see the sign at the check in desk and on the information sheet they hand you. Breakfast was missing a few basics - honey or syrup for the waffles, or juice. They offer coffee, hot water for tea, cold water and ices tea only. Nothing really for any children guests. The safe was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant has tasty food at reasonable prices. There is also and elevator, but it’s at the other end of the building from the main entrance and lobby - we didn’t find it until we wert looking for the pool.
