Nice area, average property. The room was quite run down inside- chunks of wall were missing from shower, the conditioner was out, the latch by the door was hanging on by a thread. It was a good place to sleep for one night.

Family visit

We’ve stayed here multiple times. Love the location, close to family. Wish they wouldn’t charge for parking. That’s part of the reason of staying away from the big city. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Our room smelled like urine but couldn’t put my finger on the smell until the middle of the night. Never asked to switch rooms. Too tired.

The staff was great and so so nice! 4/5 stars mainly because the hot tub was literally green/brown and I woke up to dogs barking loudly in a nearby room. Not exactly the type of wake up call you want. However, the breakfast was great and we appreciated the staff.
