"All aspects were fine. Nothing terrible and nothing outstanding. 2 nights were enough there. The hotel needs to get a more personable person at the front desk. I found her to be a bit abrupt. All others I interacted in were just fine. It is in need of refurbishing. Showing signs in getting rundown. Parking wasn’t as good as described."

"There aren't many options available in the area so this is one of the better ones especially consider the price. Everything is OK, and the owner/care-taker was friendly and helpful when we were at the hotel. the only down side is that the hotel doesnt respond to Expedia messages sent - which caused a bit of anxiety until we check in."
