We had stayed here last year and it was in much better condition than now. The ice machine was not working, there was a half inch gap between the door and the door jam from the lock down, the restaurant was closed but it looked like they were trying to open again, there was what looked like dry rot on the door jam going into the bathroom, there was only one person at the front desk but was mia ex (left to get ice to put in the ice machine). The positive was the bed was clean and comfortable. Parking was good.
