The staff were very friendly and helpful, including recommending some places for dinner, and promptly mailing back to me the kindle I accidentally left there. The rooms are not fancy, but are very clean and quiet and came with microwave, fridge and coffeemaker; everything needed!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean, and the hotel manager was very nice. The building is old, so the room could use some renovations, but it is more than functional. The only real issue is the bed. The mattress is awful; it’s full of dips and lumps and creaks loudly with any movement, and the pillows are hard and flat.

Water flow from faucet and shower was just a trickle evening after checking in. Left voicemail but Manager never responded! Wi-Fi was unstable too. Tried to talk to manager at checkout but office door locked and no response using doorbell. Paid over one hundred dollars for abysmal service!

Disappointing.

Helpful friendly staff. Property seriously in need of renovation. Did not have high expectations but still was disappointed with carpet stains, mold, peeling paint. Beds did appear to be clean at least on surface. Not many options in this area but we wouldn’t stay again.
