I'm a solo traveler who stayed one night on my way north. My king non-smoking room was fresh and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, and the bath was roomy & well-lit with a separate closet & vanity that would give a couple plenty of space to get ready without getting in each other's way. It was a busy Saturday night and the lot was full of cars by nightfall, yet I never heard my neighbors in the adjoining rooms. The breakfast bar was fresh and well-stocked, and the staff was attentive. I'd definitely stay again.

The staff does/did the best with what they have to work with. It’s an old hotel that needs updates, but the room smelled and seemed very clean, and the staff was helpful and nice. Coffee was good, breakfast was standard but warm, and the Employee who worked the breakfast (by herself) really cared about what she did.

I have stayed here before and always enjoyed it. This time, there was a long wait to check in. Then i was given room cards that didn't work twice only to find out that the room had been issued to someone else. I finally had a room and it was wonderful until the toilet clogged. I was told that they could bring me a plunger. What? No maintenance? I unclogged the toilet myself. Not exactly what a "guest" should be doing.
