Good value

the hotel was close to the interstate and price was reasonable. The diner near the parking was very good. The room was comfortable but there were stains on the carpet, the bedspread and the couch. The hotel could use some updating and there is no elevator, which I had not known prior to reserving. Breakfast was meh. It was okay for a one night stay.

This hotel was ok. The beds were comfortable and breakfast was really good. I went to tell the folks at the desk to have a look at the shower knob, there were only a couple of little kids in the office. I thought the price was a little high for the property but it was college graduation weekend.

Affordable Older hotel, clean, they have done a nice job taking care of this hotel. Staff is friendly. People should know they don't have an elevator. Didn't bother us but family checking in behind us had walker and was told nothing available on 1 St floor. They had a really hard time with stairs. Pool was not the cleanest. We bring our dog with us so location was nice lots of room to walk dog around.

Kimberly

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Shower curtain and wall (and ceiling) were marred with dirt in a few areas. Vinyl flooring is a plus in room, but otherwise seems in need of some TLC and upgraded mattresses. The limited breakfast options offered few choices or options ran out fast. This could be a great option, but is a tired property. We stayed here two years ago and it this weekend's visit was a bummer.

Danielle

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was a smell in our room that was as if it had been heavily smoked in and covered with an air freshener. There were many stains in the carpet. The toilet in our room did not flush well and ultimately we had to use the employee bathroom because the maintenance person was scheduled only a couple times per week. The pool was pleasant enough and the breakfast was fairly standard. The front desk was staffed with kind people.

Not family friendly

They were sweet and allowed us to check in early but when I got there the lady at front desk was extremely unprofessional. When we came back that evening the front lobby was filled with marijuana smoke and there were people that looked homeless plugged into all the outlets in the hallway. The room itself was great with the exception of stains on the couch.

Six night stay was too long

We stayed six nights. We needed a handicapped room or at least ground floor as there was no elevator on site. Stairs and toilet were my major concern so I brought a mobility rail that goes around the toilet to help me stand up. The toilet was so low it didn’t help, and we ended up going to Walmart and $43 later took home a raised toilet seat. Thankfully, I had taken my own shower chair. They served a free breakfast from 5am-9am which consisted of biscuits, gravy, sausage, make your own waffle, yogurt, toast, English muffins. Orange juice, apple juice, coffee. There were no eggs or fresh fruits offered. I never saw an attendant in the breakfast area. People were wiping their own tables with paper towels before using. The menu never changed. When we checked in, we were told there was a $100 charge added to our credit card as a damage deposit and also reminded theirs was a no smoking facility. I’m not so sure that was true. Everywhere we went up and down the hallway, the stench of cigarette smoke was overwhelming. It was also apparent that most of the staff smoked as well. They also allowed pets, with an additional deposit. We had dogs in two rooms near us, and they were barking almost constantly. We didn’t say anything as we have dogs of our own, but most people wouldn’t be as gracious. The hallway carpeting was filthy and should have been replaced. The tile floor in our room felt very sticky. And our desk chair leg was broken. Probably wouldn’t stay here again unless we had to
