Was easy to get to right off the interstate. Staff was friendly. Pool was good. The hotel itself is old and gloomy. Floor in our room was dirty. There was no exhaust in the bathroom and you could see that the ceiling has been repaired - moisture problem, tub overflow above? Breakfast was nothing special. Would not recommend.

Convenient location, bed was comfortable, easy check in, gentleman at the front desk was very nice. Cons: The bathroom floor was dirty, I could see when I picked up my shower rug the bottom was brown with dirt. Breakfast ended at 09:00, instead of the typical 10:00, so we missed it.

Staff was nice, the rooms were alright. Everything seemed dirty and gross and there is no fan in the bathroom and the chair in my room was all full of food crumbs/pieces which clearly means it wasn’t even cleaned well.
