I liked the ample parking and wide spaces. I appreciated there was a bar on the premises. The room smelled ok, no annoying air fresheners. The amenities were adequate and while bare bones, did have spots of quirky upgrades, retro-style refrigerator and microwave. That being said, it would take a degree in electrical engineering to figure out how the AC and microwave worked.

The room was damp all the time. There was a musty smell to it. A switch flipped at some point and caused the fridge power to go out which melted the icecream we had bought. The housekeeping was all over for times of day and even after requesting a sheet change it took multiple days to complete. There was a lack of house keeping tidying or entering the room to change out towels. The TV only has basic channels and there isn't connectivity for watching anything but what is on. Wi-Fi was good. Staff was polite. The room looked nice on day one. I would not stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights. First room, 101, smelled like a sewer. Asked for a different room. None available. Identified shower drain as source of stench and plugged it and tried to ventilate room. Went to check out in morning, but was offered room 116. This room was fine. Would not chance staying ever again.

Our room was dirty and has cobwebs. The plastic where the pillows were was filthy the door and floorboards were bad. The curtains didn’t close all the way causing light from outside to come through all night. Our room was near the stairs so we heard people walking by throughout the night.

Was ok, but over rated. Was disappointed we did not have a continental breakfast. Besides the initial cost of the hotel this was the first place we stayed that required an additional 150- deposit on your credit card, in case there was damage to the room. They said it is refunded at checkout.
