Front desk staff were wonderful and the most friendly I've ever experienced! Smelled clean and wasn't to cover up odors, really was clean. The place is old and could use some serious upgrades but overall a good stay. Comfortable bed. Wonderfully hot shower.

Always like to stay here when visiting my daughter's family. Staff is friendly though some more helpful than others. Facilities are old and could benefit from update but it's always clean. Would have preferred not risking a fall in the parking lot due to the ice that wasn't cleared away from the recent storms. Dreading packing my car for the same reason when I check out since another one storm came through (the reason I stayed) and nothing was plowed or cleared.

Do Not Recommend

Quite possibly the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room didn’t have towels and when the towels were delivered there was one blood stained. We had an adjoining room and our room didn’t actually have a door, the adjoining could have just walked into our room, 109. The only positive was the front desk was more than accommodating and very friendly.

Bathtub was dirty we did not use. Bed was clean so we stayed as it was late and didn’t want to deal with getting another hotel. Grounds were trashy. No coffee pot or blow dryer. Will not come back.
