What a gem! We liked the fact you didn’t feel like you were stomping down the hallway. In the room, you couldn’t hear your neighbors. The room was spacious and clean. Food and drinks were delicious. Staff was very nice.

The room was clean but basic. The tv was very small. Biggest disappointment was that the pool was closed for remodel (we had grandchildren with us) and I felt they should have reduced the rate since we were not notified ahead of time. On a great note, the breakfast was wonderful!

Kady

Overall it was decent. Rooms are dated and bathroom could use an upgrade to feel cleaner. Hotel set up is like a maze. They were hosting an event party and our room was next to and shared a wall with their event room. Thankfully it ended at 10pm otherwise we were headed for requesting a new room farther from the party as the music and noise was so loud it was hard to enjoy our down time.

I was in town for work. The privately owned hotel was fine for the one night I needed a clean, comfortable bed. Cons: The room was outdated and I could hear the neighbors in the adjoining room. The free breakfast left a lot to be desired. Pros: this property was very affordable and terribly convenient. Parking was plentiful and convenient.
