Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. We were in the annex building, but there is a tunnel connecting it to the main building. Walls seemed thin and we could hear quite a bit of noise from the room next door.

We only stayed one night as we were in town for a show at The Surf and this hotel was a perfect option. Just a short drive to the ballroom and right off the highway with several quick dining options close by. Staff were very nice and accommodating and we appreciated that the hotel was pet friendly, clean and provided a nice breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

The building was what I would call a normal hotel. The property was older but looked like it had a few renovations in the past couple of years. Unfortunately the old cigarette days still lingered. We could still smell them in some areas. The only issue we had with the whole stay is that charged my wife's debit card for the room when I have already paid for it through Expedia.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy to stay here. I took cold shower night of my check in and then took cold shower next morning and instead of going to room seeing I had no hot water they were so rude unpleasant and refused to issue me refund or any accommodation for the inconvenience.

This is an old hotel in need of updating. It’s a main stay for construction workers and truckers, breakfast was surprisingly good and customer service was excellent.

We had a late check-in (after midnight). But the night clerk happily checked us in for the evening, informed us of breakfast, and wished us a good night.
