Check in was quick and easy. The front desk worker was welcoming and friendly. The place was nice and our room seemed to be fairly newly painted. Our toilet paper dispenser was missing the metal tube to put the toilet paper roll on. We were going to let the front desk know as we left, but no one was there. Not a big deal, but it should be fixed. Breakfast was fine. Quite a few choices, but no hot eggs over the weekend we were there. Disappointing, but there were several other choices. No real complaints and we would definitely stay there again.

The room we stayed in was a nice size but not cleaned very well. The couch and chair was pretty battered. Because of being an older hotel it showed a lot of wear and tear. Breakfast was good. Pool was clean and nice for children.

The hotel felt safe and the staff was kind. But it was not the cleanest and was very worn. Our room had one plate, and just a strange collection of utensils and cups. Most all of it was still in the dishwasher. So, it’s a fine place to stay if you’re on a budget, but if you can spend a bit more, I would.
