Spacious lobby and room, friendly staff. Nothing fancy but no complaints. They do allow smoking in some of the rooms so if you are very sensitive to that, I would maybe reconsider. My room was non smoking but had a bit of a smoky smell.

I picked this hotel because of the pool and the continental breakfast because I had children with me. Upon arrival, we were not told at check-in that the pool had been shut down by the Health Dept. We soon found out that it had been shut down 10 days earlier and still was not up and running. Continental breakfast left a lot to be desired, and we had ants in our room and smoke detector was literally hanging off the ceiling by a wire. And on top of all this, the Wi-Fi was down as well.

Check in was not the best experience. The guy was not a good people person. He acted like having to do his job was a bother. The initial look of the hotel was great. Then we got to our room. The bathroom was missing trim work and had cracked tiles. The floor looked like it had not been cleaned including the carpet. The beds smelled very odd. The beds were comforting though. Breakfast was almost nothing at 8:20am. Was an ok place to stay but needs better cared for.

A quiet gem just off the highway. We had a comfortable night here - room was clean, beds were comfy. A nice view out the window of a pond and woods was a surprise! Breakfast ends early (at 9) but service was friendly.

Clean and well maintained. The hotel is closed to highway and gas station but in the back you have beautiful views ( trees and little lakes ). It was perfect spot to walk our puppy . They have a Keurig coffee maker in the lobby with Starbucks cups . Very well stocked breakfast bar but you have to get there earlier. Overall very good experience and will definitely stay there again.

The property is old. Smelled funny when we walked in the room. Nice beds, clean. Breakfast was just ok. We paid around $200 for the night we were there and definitely overpriced.

It was fine, a typical older hotel. I was there in hot, humid, summer weather, and the room felt very damp all the time. Nothing dried. I also noticed some ants in my room.
