Stayed here over the past 6 years. Everything was good except, rm 112 needs weather stripping seal under the door. Bugs, and outside air, light come through it. Breakfast, change up the sausages to also bacon, and different eggs or meats. Stayed 4 days straight and nice to have variety.

Just ok
As walking in the room has a bad smell it to. Smelled like a mixture of cigarettes and dust. The shower has long black hair on the walls so shower must have never been cleaned. The sheets had stains on them and the bed had more of a sheet than a comforter. If you get cold bring an extra blanket.

The little hotel that couldn’t our first room, the heater would not work, so they moved us to a different room, and when I went to flush the toilet, the flusher handle fell off we could hear the TV and the conversation in the next room, most of the night the room was clean And the lady at the front desk was very friendly
