While it served the primary purpose of providing a roof, bed, and breakfast, there were some problem areas. THE GOOD: The hotel and room were clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. THE BAD: (1) The entry light in the room was motion-activated and would come on every time someone walked near the door/bathroom, even in the middle of the night; and there did not seem to be a way to turn this off. (2) The shower’s water pressure was crazily low and temperature control was difficult. (3) The sample bottles of shampoo were oddly hard to get shampoo out of. (4) The elevator was out of service, so the upper floors could only be reached by stairs. (5) The pool/hot tub were being painted, so were not available. (6) There was no tea or boiled water (which we use for instant oatmeal) available at the free breakfast. There was not even water available. We ended up getting a cup, getting water from the bathroom, and heating it in the microwave. (7) Breakfast was not maintained in an ongoing basis, and offerings would just end up depleted. When we went, there were no plates available; so we used the paper bowls for everything. (8) The ice machine on the second floor (where we stayed) did not work, but there was ice available on the first floor.

Pool closed

I specifically booked the room for the pool and location where i needed it. Pool is closed for painting it, in summer mind u. Happens but they could have mentioned that when i asked if they had a pool while booking. Bed sucks. Springs were poking no matter where u turn. Not a fan overall. The only perk was early check in. That was awesome!

Breakfast needs a lot of help. While sausage, bacon, eggs and biscuits sounds good, I think they go with the cheapest they can find. It’s not very good. There was orange juice one day, but not the second. No butter or jelly.

The rooms were nice, small bathroom though. The pool was decent size, only a small.section at the end was 5ft but the pain was peeling all over the pool so much that you could feel it underneath your feet. Breakfast was pretty darn good, biscuits, eggs, sausage, bacon, waffle maker and other assortments. I will say that I was taken aback when I was charged an extra 15 bucks per night per kid so my 230 deal for 2 nights turned into 320 so definitely not the best deal. Another thing that bothered me was the 100 cash deposit needed to secure the room but we did get that back without alot of hassle so that was nice Most of the staff was nice other than one attendant at the front desk who upon me asking for more shampoo and conditioner for 5 people made a comment about keeping the kids down at night and then gave me 1 more bottle of shampoo and one thing of conditioner. So overall a 3 star hotel but with a little work, has the potential to be a 4 :)

Be careful

Room was nice, not much for pillows, bathroom was big. But, An employee let himself into my room, no knocking or announcing. Closed the door behind him. Check out was 11, this was before 8. He had a slip of paper with room# & my name. Said i wasn't ready to check out yet, he won't leave. I asked what he needed, he wouldn't tell me. Told him i didn't ask for anything to be checked in the room, he said he would wait. I grabbed my things as quick as i could, not a place i would stay again.

I would never stay here again. Looks like a normal hotel, but full of scams. Advertised “pet friendly”, but nowhere on here or their website do they advertise that you have to buy a specific “pet room”. Nor do they mention that you have to pay $35 per pet. It was fishy, that they said it would only be $60 if I paid cash to the desk attendant. They also make you pay a $100 deposit in cash, which is wild in 2025. They give you a deposit slip that you bring when checking out, and then make you stand there and wait while they manually send someone to inspect your room before giving the $100 back. Very outdated and fishy systems for what looks like a standard hotel. Breakfast options were limited. Would definitely not stay here again despite the “good deal” it looked like. Actual price ended up being more money and a lot of haggle. Who knows if my pet fee even went to the hotel or was pocketed by the desk attendant. It also smelled in the building.
