They are remodeling, so you wouldn't expect it to look excellent. The Pillows were awful, no matter how many you used. The Staff was great!

Hotel was good, the elevator is definitely a little sketchy as if it hasn’t been looked at for awhile. Room was clean and breakfast was great. No pool or hot tub. For the price great hotel.

This property has great potential. Cleaning supplies were left out in multiple locations. Trash was full inside and outside. Upstairs shower needed an anti slip mat, nearly fell a few times. Ant poison on kitchen counters.
