It was good for what we needed it for. Room was nice. It is an old style where you enter from outside. Find a parking spot was difficult. Facilities were clean.
This hotel was an exceptional value. Price was very reasonable and the room was quite comfortable. The breakfast served in the morning was very good and my stay was quiet and conveniently located. I will stay at this hotel again.
Property was clean and parking lot was well lit and safe. Room was clean and everything functioned properly. Only ding is there is a slight musty smell upon entering but it doesn't linger and you adjust to it quickly and soon forget it. TV in the room was the size of a laptop, but worked fine. Remote was sticky (always travel with clorox wipes).
Breakfast was edible and the dining area was clean and comfy. The property shows its age in places, but not enough to alarm or scare you off. This isn't a 5-star hotel but its a great budget option.
The rooms were beautiful and clean everything was fresh no problems no bugs no noise because that was the weird thing is that there was hardly anybody there I mean like maybe a half a dozen actual paid individuals you know rooms that were rented including myself. I did not see any more than four vehicles in the parking lot on either side of the building combined. And because of this things were not taken care of for breakfast I don't blame them but it has been rather light in business and I think that should change these people are great prices are great and you're surroundings are fantastic you should take advantage of it
I really enjoyed the room it was clean staff was friendly it was so quiet. Breakfast was good and it is easy to get where you are going and back with lots of food options and shopping around. If you are looking for a fancy place this isn’t for you. If you are looking for a comfortable fairly priced, no bugs, and helpful staff, and don’t mind a knick in the paint this is for you!
Property was very old and not well maintained, the breakfast was very minimal, coffee wasnt good, the first the restroom light blew out, the TV remote batteries were dead, tiny TV that sounded horrible, and super hard beds. The only thing good was the friendly staff

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean, the bed comfy and staff was pleasant and helpful
loved the room; it was very cozy.
The breakfast was delicious and the pool was very clean—I liked all of that. I’m giving it 4 stars
because the room wasn't cleaned; the app stated there was daily housekeeping, but that wasn't the case. When we returned at night, the beds hadn't been made. I had left everything tidy so they wouldn't have to do anything other than make the bed, but it didn't happen. Even so, I recommend it because the room is very cozy and the breakfast is delicious.
