    Pros +

    • I loved the cleanliness of the hotel. The hardwood floors, granite(countertop type material) on the table looks great! Towels.nicely placed;hot water came quickly. The bed was most comfortable!!Great place!The cleaners take great pride in their work!!!!
    • I honestly have no complaints about this hotel. I checked in the guy at the front desk gave me a different room then what I was original suppose to get because he said it was a nicer room. The room was nice and spacious and was overall nice.
    • Clean, quiet, safe. Good stay, will come again

    Cons -

    • There were dead bugs in the floor in multiple pieces. The shower was only a tiny drip and completely inadequate to wash your hair. We stayed here only because our original room got canceled due to pipes flooding several rooms. We would not stay here again
    • I would recommend, as I also told the receptionist, that it would be very helpful to have a stand for suitcases. A suitcase had to be placed on the floor or lifted on the bed to take something out. That is very difficult for many people.
    • There was no coffee makers

    The room was clean and cozy

    Need new pillows

    8SeanPosted on: 1-22-2026

    The room was clean and the bed comfortable.

    There are some things that need to be updated. The faucet on the hot tub and shower was wonky. The bathroom door did not latch.

    8SeanPosted on: 12-11-2025

    We arrived prior to the allowed check-in time but the staff was quick to get our room ready.

    It’s quiet and peaceful and very comfortable… very reasonable price… this has been our stay once a year for the past four years now… will not stay any other place

    The property and staff are awesome… my only problem was not being able to stay longer.. lol

    Much older rooms, faint musty smell

    Price to ammenity ratio was to high for this older property. I would have been okay in the $60-$70 range for this property. At $90+ it was to costly for the age of the property and furnishings.

    8PamelaPosted on: 5-5-2025

    Price

    No amenities in room such ad a coffee pot or shampoo. Only 2 small bars of soap. Couldn't locate glasses or ice bucket until the second night.

    I like that the staff was very inviting upon arrival and the property was very clean and presentable. I enjoyed my stay. We will stay here again when visiting family.

    Close to the airport and easy check in and out

    Some parts of the bathroom were not the cleanest

    It was clean, quiet and reasonable facilities.

    Traffic was rough and the buildings seemed a little run down.

    7RobertPosted on: 7-13-2024

    It was comfortable and inexpensive and the staff were very helpful.

    Without a car it was an effort to go anywhere

    Close to some areas we wanted to visit

    Smell of cigarettes in room then later after we'd been out the added smell of pot. Stained couch. Not completely clean bathroom though I'd booked it on some reviews saying whole space was very clean
