I stayed here for about a week in the room that accommodates pets. The room was not updated at all but it was cozy and had all of the amenities that I needed. I do feel that the room may have fleas. We come from colorado where we don't have fleas so I knew it wasn't my pet but it was clear there were. I think that rooms for pets should not have carpet. Especially in states that are known to have fleas. I love the in room coffee. There was no mention of the train, so it was a surprise when it went by. Startled all of us. Maybe the charge was a little high for the fact the you may be awakened by a train every night.

Dear Amy,We appreciate your review and that you took the time to let us know of your recent experience. Although we found no evidence of fleas in the room, we took care to have it treated, as our guests' comfort (2 and 4 legged!) is paramount to us.

Nathan,Thank you for your review. Yes, we are celebrating being open since 1962! I do understand your disappointment in our rates for Rush Cup Weekend- the entire area is full due to the soccer tourney and normally we do not have such high rates...beats the 350.00+ rates at the other hotels, though!

Good stay
The hotel is an older hotel, but quite comfortable and clean. Unfortunately the pool was closed and I wanted to swim, so didn't get to do that. This place, in spite of the address, is right beside the I5 main highway so it is noisy, but inside the room, it is significantly muffled. The rooms open out to a lovely garden courtyard at the back.

OK for the price.
It was in a really busy spot, but for the most part, it was clean and decent. Add a nice back door that went out to the courtyard to the nice swimming pool we wanted. But it was padlocked for some reason. We didn't get to go to the pool.

Response from Therese GM on 6 Jul 2023
Dear Kathleen,Thank you for staying with us and leaving a review. We regret that our pool is shut down and will be removed this year. We have not listed it as an amenity for a couple of years and have removed all references and photos that we have access to. We will be replacing it with some exciting additions to our beautiful landscaped courtyard.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. We found some hair on the bedding, and the front desk lady promptly provided new sheet and pillow cases and help us changed. Front desk and dining area is nicely updated which created a bigger disappointment when we saw our room which was still quite dated (fridge and microwave is brand new though). The staff told us that the owner is slowly upgrading the place.
