Well worth the price.

The staff were EXCELLENT!!! Hotel had everything needed. The only complaint was they advertised a hot tub and it was shut down the entire visit. The breakfast and amenities were great for the price. Clean rooms.

Our floor was recently remodeled, but I am not sure whether they were aware of a possible roof leak in room 304, at the east wall, right corner of the room. It looks like it has made the wallpaper run, and when you see things like that, you do worry about potential mold. I would stay again; the price was reasonable. I have a feeling we only got this price because of renovations, but I hope they try to stay somewhat close to that price. Waffles make or something blew the fusses in the food area, and they would prefer frozen chopped potatoes instead of saggy hash brown patties. The staff were very friendly
