We had rooms 101, 102, 103 for a wedding we had to attend. I guess the bed in 101 leaned pretty bad on one side. Room 102 bed was a little squeaky when trying to roll over. Room 103 seemed a little run down. However, the workers were very friendly and check in was extremely easy. Breakfast was decent for the price of the rooms. Would recommend for an inexpensive hotel if needed.

The place and rooms look nothing like the pictures. I paid for a room with a jetted tub. It was old and didn't work. The front desk person told me someone will come out tomorrow and fix it. That didn't work for me because I only booked for one day. I requested a refund and was denied. I will still request a refund.
