Overall, it was good. I would have liked the receipt to show that and how the room was paid for. The room was decent. The pool was nice. We would have liked to enjoy a hot tub, but, there wasn’t one. Continental breakfast was disappointing. No eggs or meat choices. Waffles were good, but, nothing really diabetic friendly. I would stay again if needed because the price did match the benefits.

We stayed here for a hockey tournament. It's an older hotel with no elevator. If you have a lot of luggage or gear to carry I'd recommend asking for a room on the first floor. Our room was clean and well stocked. The beds are hard as a rock unfortunately both my son and I were very sore when we woke up. The pool room was cold but the water was warm.

I guess you get what you pay for. Stayed here withy daughters for one night. Booked it because it was an affordable price. Pics showed a hot tub that was one of the main reasons for us booking it. They could have stated that it has been filled in. Couldn't even give my daughter's a bath as there was no plug. The building smelled like something was constantly burning. Breakfast was a joke. Gas station breakfast was not what I was expecting. I guess on a good note the bed was comfortable.

Would have like to have kniwn before booking that they filled in their hot tub area, that was one of the main reasons for choosing this hotel.

Wow, this is a really nice, up to date, super clean property. Room was great, clean, everything worked, hallways clean. No funny smells, really spotless. Very quiet. Air conditioner worked great, no funny noises, etc. Seemed like a brand new building, though I was told its not. Owners seem nice and that they really wanted to keep the place super nice. Will definitely stay here again if I am in town.

The entire first floor stunk of marijuana. Bed pillows on the floor when we got there. Breakfast at 7am? Should be 6am as travelers leave early in the morning. Would def not recommend this hotel to anyone.

However, I wish you couldn't hear other rooms TVs through the walls and loud guests in the hallway buit that comes with staying at a hotel and isn't necessarily the hotel's fault. I missed breakfast so I can't comment on that. Overall, my stay was good.

We were there with family for a wedding. The hotel smelled either musty, like someone was smoking pot or maybe a skunk was near by. The whole place needs to be updated. We had several rooms and they all need help.

I paid $144 for one night at this hotel. I got in around 10:00 pm and when I got to the room and turned on the AC, it was very noisy. Made it hard to sleep - not OK. I can’t believe the hotel did not know this air conditioner was very noisy. When I checked out they said they had plans to install a new AC in that room.

The beds are too high off the floor. I'm 5'7" and struggled just setting on the edge and even more trying to lie down. Do not have anough accessible rooms. Not all rooms have to include acwalk in shower. Just having the low tub sides and grab bats plus grab bars by the commode would make a room so much more accessible to someone who needs "some" help but doesn't require full ADA.

From check in to check out it was horrible. The check in person was so rude in the middle of check in she proceeded to pick up her phone and make a call speaking in another language without any explanation or apology. The room when you walked in had a horrible burnt inscense smell. When i went to shower there was a bug in the floor mat and mold and dirt on the trim. The coffee pot in the room was so gross i never used it. The bed was old and pillows flat. When i tried speaking with the manager/owner? He ignored me and walked off.
