Not great, but not bad

Pretty basic motel. No elevator, and we had a second floor with bad knees. Not great, but not bad either. There was hair on the floor in the bathroom which was kind of disgusting.

Very nice hotel, but please note… NO HOT TUB!!! Don’t believe the google pics on that. I booked here because the google pics showed a hot tub. It was very disappointing to find out they boarded over it. Otherwise, it’s a great place.

We loved our 2 night stay. The room was pleasant, along with the rest of the property. We did not use the pool. The breakfast was great! It was nice to see breakfast staffed to make sure everything was available. The staff was great! Our only disappointment was the soft bed. We were sinking to the middle of the bed. May be time to replace the mattress.

Stayed here for a quick night on our way home from vacation. Front desk staff was friendly and thoughtful. She placed us near stairs and away from other guests without me requesting it. Which was nice since I had my children with me and had a lot to carry. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was good too.

Very friendly staff. Great location. Room was comfortable, however paint chipping and peeling off the walls should be fixed for a more clean look therefore making the room look fresh and more comfortable.
