Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very friendly and efficient with a quick and easy check-in. I have read many of the reviews. For the people complaining, I am uncertain what guests were expecting for such a reasonable rate right in the middle of the historical area. The accommodations were nice with a comfortable bed, nice shower, working refrigerator, simple breakfast, and nice TV. The pool was relaxing and the area was quiet enough for a good night's rest. We were able to take a nice walk to get into the center of town to enjoy history, food, and shopping. For a family on a budget, this place worked out just fine.

The smell of skunk weed was overwhelming but after turning the air on and opening the door, the smell was less terrible. The door had clearly been kicked in at some point. The furniture, microwave, and fridge all has a ton of wear but for what it was, it was fine. We brought our own coffee pot, blow dryer, blankets, and towels. I suggest you do the same.

My kiddo enjoyed the pool a ton. I think my only two complaints were the bed being uncomfortable to my liking, and ants. All the recent rain had driven ants into the room. We had a good stay otherwise and would stay again.
