The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were loud and dirty, making it difficult to enjoy TV or get a proper rest. However, the service was pleasant and helpful. The location was convenient for travelers, but there were some cleanliness issues and a faint smell of smoke. The dining options were limited, and other hotels in the area offer better value. Overall, it was an average experience that may not be the best choice for the next visit.

The hotel had nicely laid out rooms with very comfortable pillows and full of convenient extras like a coffee maker, microwave, and fridge. However, the heater in room 404 was dirty, making us concerned it might catch fire. We usually take my granddaughter swimming several times a month for swimming, pizza, and an overnighter, but we might go elsewhere next time. The double beds were clean and well-equipped, so we thought it was a great place to stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with the added bonus of finding free beer left by previous guests. The heated pool and hot tub were a definite highlight for me, especially during the morning hours. While the service could have been friendlier, the staff, particularly a supervisor, was extremely helpful and went above and beyond by offering to mail a large security deposit. The location, though in need of more lighting and some updates, was convenient right off the highway and near various attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory with local pastries across the street. Overall, a good value for money with some minor drawbacks to consider.
