I Stopped Here Unexpectedly during the snowstorm on my way through town, I'm really glad I did. The room was very clean, quiet, and offered every thing I needed for a comfortable night. The hotel is reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the wonderful coffee in the morning before getting back on the road. A Great Place To Stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND....

Room was nice and clean and the staff friendly. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because their tv technology needs to be updated, tv kept pausing non stop and picture wasn't the clearest, like I was watching everything in 480i.

Disliked: Cleanliness

The desk staff were VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. The walls are thin, and the neighbors were loud. The room was basic, and mostly clean, but I did have to pluck some hair and other stuff out of the bed before I climbed in, and the bedspread appeared as if someone had been sitting on it before I arrived, and that was not very welcoming. Also: a hairdryer in the room would be great. I did enjoy the morning coffee and a pear.

Disliked: Room comfort

The room was clean for the most part. However, there were a lot of drink stains on the end table that had not been washed off. The wash clothes oozed blue dye while using it in the shower, the same color as the cloth. During the night, about 3 a.m., someone kept going in and out of their room for a half hour, letting the door slam behind them. It was very loud and disruptive. The pillows were very hard and flat. I would recommend bringing your own if you stay there. The staff were very friendly and helpful though.

Stayed 1 night and it is fine for that. Any longer and I'd choose the other hotel in town. The rooms are dated. They are clean, but may not feel that way. The TVs are tiny and the remotes not very easy to work. No snacks or drinks at the front desk and the vending machines only take cash. The shower was good. The beds were fine.

Not bad for one night

Other than having long discussion about my service dog ( no payment for service dogs, they should know that you CANNOT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT SERVICE DOG - PERIOD ! ), front desk was friendly. Breakfast ? Well, I do like donuts but that was the only thing they offered for breakfast. Not counting cereal :) Otherwise room was clean, smell nice, comfy bed. Water in bathroom sink run rusty so they should check the pipes.

The bad - During check in was told there would be no breakfast, new owners and remodeling was going to happen, no big deal for us, as we would be going to Daughters place for breakfast anyway. When we tried to enter our room card did not work, after numerous attempts we notified personnel. After numerous attempts by hotel management making a new card, battery was replaced which didn't work either. The good - we were then moved into a King bed room, a lot nicer room for the money, an awesome upgrade, management really made an effort to please us. Will stay there again and can't wait to see the upgrades they will be making.

Its obviously under construction. Holes in the walls where there used to be picture hangers. Paint was partially paint and partially primer. We found a razor blade on top of our a/c unit. There was a nasty smell in the room which I think was probably flooring adhesive as the flooring was new. The bathroom was clean but badly outdated/institutional. So that's the worst stuff. Good stuff was that the beds were probably new memory foam and weren't too bad once you were in them and the sheets were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I can't speak on the breakfast because I never saw it. The tables were still wrapped in plastic so I dont know if they served breakfast.
