We have stayed here several times while visiting family in the area. They seem to be remodeling their rooms. The room they gave us looked like it was fairly new and remodeled. They have good prices too. I would stay there again.

The staff was friendly. The room was very clean and good sized. Even the coffee pot was clean which almost never happens. For me personally the beds are a bit soft but all the linen was clean and in good shape and the pillows actually had some filling. And it was quiet. Didn't hear any of the other guests at all. Would definitely stay here again.

Just an okay place to stay. People were nice but the hotel is in poor condition overall. Bed was comfortable at least but that’s about all I can say nice about the place. Breakfast was really poor.
