This hotel was in a nice area with restaurants nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated the gas fire pit to be working. Replacing the propane tank shouldn’t be that difficult. The breakfast was good, coffee was great. Very clean.

6/10 Good

Property was clean and well kept. Staff was friendly. Biggest issue was that the property was LOUD. If anyone in the room used the tub/shower it was very loud in the room. Neighboring room’s TV could easily be heard through the wall. All doors slammed shut (no soft closers). Was hard to get comfortable with so much noise all through the night. Breakfast was average. Surrounding area had good dining options.
