"This was a good place to stay! We had no issues. The pool was chilly, but no big whoop. The breakfast was your standard hotel free breakfast, but was good and we appreciated it very much. The check-in was easy enough. They have games you can check-out which was cool. "

"Friendly staff, clean room and building. Love that they allow dogs for a small fee! Nice pool, just a little cold, and ceiling is peeling, also had so much chlorine that it burned our eyes. Breakfast could have more options. Overall, I’d stay again! "

"U had to check in and out at another hotel. No notice given. None of the doors locked to get into hotel. The hallways and steps were filthy and smelled horrible. There was a bag over the smoke detector. The curtains were old. Bathroom was clean. Good amenities. And the pool was not opened which wasnt listed on site."
