Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean for most part just some dusting issues but generally good. staff was very courteous even though check in took quite some time. Very sparse breakfast since not many guests so not blaming them for that. I wasn't going to ask them to make additional warm food cause it was gone. Cereal it is. LOL Was definitely worth the cost as other hotels in area are considerably more.

The facility needs major updates. The carpet is frayed. The hot tub was unavailable and looks like it hasn’t been used for quite some time. The bathtub and shower curtain were stained. The mattress had hard lumps. Instead of getting new signs (such as the breakfast and pool hours), they taped rolled up paper over the incorrect time. The staff was limited, but were friendly and helpful.

No one was at desk when we first got there. Waited for about 15 minutes even after calling number that was at the desk. Then couldn’t get door to room open even though light was green on door lock. Had to have attendant come help. But all in all was good experience

It was good as usual. Not outstanding but fair for the price paid. Breakfast had limited offerings, very few cereal choices, just high calorie ones. Better than Super 8 but not as good as Fairfield and others. Staff was helpful. Pool was nice.

Receptionist was very kind and considerate of our late check-in, offering extended pool hours and recommending late night eateries near by. We were very weary of the dark location of establishment but receptionist calmed our worries and ensured us this was a safe location. We had no mishaps and will definitely be visiting again.
