6/10 Good

Good hotel for price point

The staff was friendly. There is no elevator so we had to carry everything up a small flight of stairs. There was a pool which was good. Breakfast was good! The furniture was really tore-up. We have stayed here before but our last room was nicer than this one but we would stay again!
Taryn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The beds were good, the pillows were fantastic! It was clean but loud. Across the hall someone slammed his door and stomped down the hall around 3am. Kids ran up and down the hall because my room was on the first floor leading to the pool.

Quick stay

Stayed one night for a dance competition. Our room was clean and comfortable and we were happy with our stay. The location was decent for what we needed and the parking lot was well lit. Breakfast was ok…decent choices and our daughters enjoyed the pool for a bit. Staff was nice.

4/10 Fair

Do yourself a favor and skip this hotel. Rooms are in poor shape. Exhaust fan in the bathroom was hanging out of the ceiling. Very much in need of an update. Hot items for breakfast were cold. Just keep driving.
