10/10 Excellent
"The pool was very nice, They had the best breakfast ever! I’ve never seen a breakfast with biscuits and Gravy! So good. Their gym equipment was rusty and outdated and one Oliptical machine was broken. Lots of rust on the pull down bars. Could be a safety hazard. The staff very friendly. They had carpet instead of tile or laminate flooring through the hotel which looked old and outdated. Carpet traps dust and bacteria. It would be better if they took it out. Hinges rusted on the bathroom door. These are small things . Parking is small but close walking distant to many restaurants . We can’t have it all! The staff very nice and friendly!"
