- Needs room instructions on TV/Remote easy use and gain. (A+) Excellent front desk and excellent comfortable bed. * pillow cases need to be as soft as the excellent sheets. ** A few less important room details (loss/degrade/missing), needs addressing. Thanks

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Our room had a wonderful bed, king size, soft and just right firmness. The refrigerator was great to put our drinks in for the next day. Unfortunately, while they have been working on upgrading a few fixtures, the room badly needed a coat of paint. The floor had recently been redone and was good too. We weren't there for amenities or luxury so it did the job. Staff on check in was friendly and efficient. It looked like a great place for bikers on the AT a they had several things in the office for them.
