Great stay

This hotel was just what my friend and I needed. We were in town for homecoming and weren’t planning on staying the night. The cold and rain changed our plans. The room was nice and clean, the beds were super comfortable. Check-in/out was quick and easy. We did miss the breakfast bag unfortunately.

We found our room nice and clean but was unable to set the air conditioning where it would be comfortable and it turned out to be miserable. And the mattress was quite uncomfortable.

Room was very clean and neat. I didn’t realize it was an extended stay until I saw the mini kitchen. Would say the the straight back wooden chair was very uncomfortable. It actually hurt my back to sit on it. Also you should put a sign on the wall to use the thermostat to control the HVAC. Took me awhile to realize the control was there just didn’t see it for a hike.
