This is an older facility but has been well maintained and remodeled to update both the look and the feel. Adding electrical outlets/USB charging to the bedside clock and on the desk would bring it even more up to date. The pool and hot tub are wonderful!

Overall everything was very clean and comfortable! Only thing that wasn’t that great was the pool temperature was on the cold side. But that was minor compared to a nice hot tub, room, and delicious breakfast.

This hotel had been remodeled/on the process of being remodeled. The rooms were very nice and CLEAN! The staff was very friendly and took pride in their hotel. It is an AmericInn, not a luxury hotel; however, it was extremely nice for a very good price!
