We stayed there as we were passing through town, and the hotel was reasonably priced. Other hotels in the area were over 200. The room was clean. It is an older hotel which needs a lot of upkeep but can see the potential. Staff were really efficient with check in and check out.

The property was undergoing some renovations when we were there. The restaurant wasn’t available. Our room wasn’t cleaned the first night that we were there and I feel for that the price we paid we should’ve had more amenities available to us. The staff were very kind and welcoming.

👎They didnt read the notes/requests. We didnt get a room we booked with a hide a bed and they seemingly didnt know we had a dog (all was in notes). 👍It was nice they didnt charge us extra for the dog. 👎Also, the restaurant was under renovations/closed which wasnt in the hotel info & the rug in our room was old & gathering, 👍 but the bathroom was huge. 👎Their luggage trollies had flat tires which made it difficult to use. 👍The staff was very polite 👎h/e didnt seem to be current with issues & notifications. 👍 Our stay was pleasant enough, 👎just needed better communication & knowledge.

The property was clean. However the toilet was running continuously and the room smelled of cigarrette smoke. The place needs a major overhaul, but has reasonable rates and efficient staff.

Sadly, in the morning we woke up and discovered bed bugs of some sort on our pillows and under the blankets, at that point we gathered and flushed eight of them down the toilet. We had to check further and found food bits under the couch cushions, shaking the cushions, we were treated with a couple more bugs, there was not even blankets on the hide a bed matress. Animal and human hair on the queen bed top blanket. Very poor experience!

The hotel is in need of a complete makeover! The room smelled like cigarette smoke. Smelled very stale! The walls need paint, carpet needs cleaning, toilet kept running after each flush! The restaurant was closed due to ownership change we were told! Came outside to a homeless person sleeping rough on the corner! Would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy!!!
