It was clean but could use some work in the bathrooms. Breakfast was ok. Air conditioning worked great. Had to wait for about 10 minutes for someone to come to the front desk to check in. Another couple was waiting too. No ice machines working. Had to go to the front desk and have them get it.

Location was good. We were not impressed with the hotel. Our bed linens had blood stains on them which was discussing. The chain lock on our door was broken so we only had the bolt to lock us in. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken. The shower dispenser did not offer shower soap only shampoo & two conditioners. We could smell cigarette smoke throughout our stay coming from a near by smoker. Ok breakfast but not impressed with the condition of our room.

Room was clean, bed sufficiently comfortable and pet friendly! An added $50 for both nights for dog with $100 refundable deposit, but important to have our dog with us. Booked this as an alternative to a vrbo that didn’t meet our minimum standard, and was an improvement over that. Affordable and easy to secure.

Clean bathroom. Great shower with needed grab bars. Nice bkfst variety. Evening check-in staff very friendly. Loved the comfort of the bed except could barely get into the bed due to being too high. Why so high? Short people were not considered. Bathroom needs a counter. No place to lay hygiene products. Overall a nice quiet stay.
