"Staff was nice. Plenty of parking. Breakfast very disappointed nothing really edible. Decor outdated. The worst part is bedding- they have some kind slippery synthetic sheets that slides.

"The room was spacious. The initial impression was an overwhelming wet rug smell mixed with cleaning products. It was almost as if the room was musty and humidified leaving towels with a damp feeling. It was a bed that served its one night purpose. The staff were friendly all around."
