Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean for most part just some dusting issues but generally good. staff was very courteous even though check in took quite some time. Very sparse breakfast since not many guests so not blaming them for that. I wasn't going to ask them to make additional warm food cause it was gone. Cereal it is. LOL Was definitely worth the cost as other hotels in area are considerably more.

Marcia

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The facility needs major updates. The carpet is frayed. The hot tub was unavailable and looks like it hasn’t been used for quite some time. The bathtub and shower curtain were stained. The mattress had hard lumps. Instead of getting new signs (such as the breakfast and pool hours), they taped rolled up paper over the incorrect time. The staff was limited, but were friendly and helpful.

It was good as usual. Not outstanding but fair for the price paid. Breakfast had limited offerings, very few cereal choices, just high calorie ones. Better than Super 8 but not as good as Fairfield and others. Staff was helpful. Pool was nice.
