Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Cheap but spend a little more and stay elsewhere. We had no key to are room so we had to keep the door proped open when we weren't in the room. They did let us know this before the stay. Be careful eating the breakfast Nats everywhere and mold in the butter. Front desk staff was friendly and the room did its job for the night.

The hotel was okay. The staff did a great job getting us into our room. The key card reader was not working so our door was open on arrival and when we came back they let us in with their master key. I did feel for the woman helping us as she had to let every guest who came back to the hotel into their room. We were staying because of a wedding in town and the hotel was full because of that. The beds were comfy although they looked like they had been made in a hurry. The carpet in the hall was a bit dated and looked like it needed vacuuming. The room had kinda of a sweet Smokey like smell. Like covering up smoking although the sign on our door said no smoking. For an overnight it was fine. Not the newest of hotels but again, the two women who helped us were great.

I liked that the sheets were clean, bed was comfortable, and it was pet friendly. The staff was nice. The fridge was filthy w/mold, cigarette ashes on the desk drawer and the floor needed a better sweep. Suggestion: Maybe have a destination for dogs to go to the bathroom and something that holds poop bags and have a trash can right by the poop bag dispenser.

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.

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.
