Marilyn

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The facility was clean and partly renovated. Very new management has done a big transition, but missing small finishes. Refrigerator door opened in the wrong direction. Bathroom lightbulbs mismatched. Comfortable new bed, but only one side had a light, and no usb or plug nearby. Little fixes and property will earn another star. Meanwhile a pleasant and comfortable stop if you are not too fussy.

Comfy but needs a refresh

This is still a good place to stay. Hotel could use a refresh. Been coming here for 20 years. Breakfast is so-so. There is no swimming pool. Beds are very comfortable. And, the service is excellent.

I really liked that we had 2 separate rooms. And a kitchenette. Price was very reasonable. Only minus was the vent in the room. Everytime it turned on it sounded like a plane was starting up.
