Very clean and comfortable. The staff was great and very helpful. The pool and hot tub were well maintained, and the water was at just the right temperature. Good options for the complimentary breakfast in the morning. Great place to stay for the price. Even though it's a little way from most restaurants and shopping, it is in a nice and quiet location.

Workout equipment needs to be updated. The treadmill had parts broken off of it and it was crammed into a tiny room. I like to workout when I'm traveling so I appreciate the equipment that is functional, even if its limited. Also I wish that there were alarm clocks in the room.

Our air conditioner unit was not working properly. Notified the front desk and a maintenance worker came to our room and checked out the unit. The maintenance person determined the unit should be replaced. The hotel owner owner was called by the maintenance person who asked if a new unit was available. The hotel does have extra units for situations that require replacement. The owner and maintenance person returned to our hotel room with a new unit and had it installed in a short time. This was much appreciated. There was a good variety of breakfast food options.

Person working the desk when we checked in was great. When I was concerned about my ability to carry my luggage up to the 2nd floor, he carried it up for me ( REALLY appreciated that—thank you!) Breakfast on Friday was good. Really appreciated the coffee creamer. ❤️ Comfortable bed so we slept well. I know this is hard to control but the 2nd floor reeked of pot Friday late morning & this is a non-smoking inn. Perfect location for activities we were doing & people we were meeting. This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here & if needed, we would stay again.

Only thing I can think of is being on the 2nd floor. I guess we have to make reservations earlier next time! We never had time to use the pool so can’t review that. If possible, it would be great if they could have a designated outside smoking area NOT near the entrance/ exit doors. Hated being “ smoked out” every time we went in or out of our car. (Another thing that is very hard to control). GreAt place. If needed,we will stay here again. Price was very reasonable!!

The breakfast was mediocre. I think the breakfast could have used scrambled eggs and some type of fresh fruit.

The only thing I did not like was the “open swim.” I was uncomfortable going in the pool area when the “open swim” was happening. I’ve never seen a motel offer open swimming to the public. A huge van pulled up and a bunch (like 15) of locals kids got out and invaded the pool area. I thought it was very uncomfortable! So, as a paying guest, I was uncomfortable going into the pool area until they left the building.

The breakfast selection was typical and reasonable. The only criticism is the layout of the breakfast area. It was frustrating that you could not easily find forks, etc. where you expected them to be. And it was strange to have sausage and hashbrowns but no eggs. Weird.

It was a little outdated, but it was clean. We always look for a hot tub, and this one was large. The staff was friendly enough. We only engaged during check in. It aske a question of the view from our room, this was not important to us, and I don't think I even looked. We enjoyed our stay.

Just that it was a little outdated.

The hot tub was very nice, and the room clean and nice size.

People next room over were fighting all night, slamming the doors, running down the hall way and staff on didn’t intervene. We are night owls but still yelling at 3am and my husband was up at 6am still yelling, swearing, and slamming doors! Breakfast was minimal!
