Good place to stay

Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had requested extra pullows and they were waiting in our room at check in. Breakfast staff was extra helpful. Bathroom showed signs of wear;showerhead full of buildup and sprinkler rusty. TV had adhesive residue on the front. Bed and pullows were comfortable. Free breakfast selection good. We felt safe. Located by fast food, gas, and a cheese store.

I enjoyed my stay. Nice staff and clean room. My only issue was that the ceiling/walls a little too thin. I could hear people in hallway and upstairs too clearly.

Nice hotel, but a major mix up

The hotel was fine. Our room was very clean. We were allowed to check in early which was very helpful. The only snag we had was that we were put into a room that was not supposed to be ours. Later in the day, another family had keys to our room and tried to come in. So they assigned the same room to two different families. They seemed to have assigned us one room but accidentally printed up paper work and keys for another that was supposed to be for a different family.

Not a bad stay but won't be back

Our stay was ok. They are renovating next year and it needs it. Unfortunately, we don't think we will be back, they will be starting to charge extra to use the pool. It looked like that was for paying guests too. Sound proofing is not very good, heard the people above us. Their breakfast is the best part but not enough to go back.

It says online that the updates would be made this year. That is false. There were bugs in the rooms and in the pool area. The hotel is extremely outdated. The only plus about this property was the morning staff and the housekeeping staff. 2/10
