Checking in was really easy and the staff is very friendly. Room was alright some small improvements would be better bed, if they would clean the spider webs around the balcony, and the water had a very harsh metal smell. If you are only staying for a few days don't shy away.

Staff was friendly. Property was quiet at night but not much around without driving. There isnt room service which is listed, both restaurants are closed. Property is kind of old, but clean. Great place for the price.

This is a very old facility that they are trying to renovate. The bathrooms were updated and clean and the bed was comfortable. The carpets were very dirty throughout the entire building. Front desk and staff is extremely limited and only there from 8 AM to 4 PM. If you want your room cleaned, more towels, or bedding changed, etc., you must tell them in advance or it does not happen. Staff was very friendly and helpful but limited. There is no restaurant or eating facility on site or even close. If they ever get it fixed up, I think it would be a nice place but as is, it needs a lot of help. It was an OK hotel for the price, but I would not go back.
