Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and welcoming check in. We were given breakfast vouchers for each day of our stay. Nice free pancake and egg breakfast served at the restaurant on site. The room was a bit small but very clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. I would give this place an A- based only on the weak water pressure in the shower.

Alan, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

They charged a pet fee that was not in the rental agreement on the ap the fee was more than the room rate
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and looked like it had some updates. The toilet needs to be updated to a handicap height. The old toilet make you feel like your sitting on the floor. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable. Please add a sheer curtain in the window so the heavy curtains can be open and let light in. Will stay again.
Daniel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was nice. The room was clean enough. I found the beds uncomfortable and the noise from the road made it difficult to sleep. The bathroom needs updating
