A little older but very clean. Would stay again. The area seems to be building up with some newer hotels but are more expensive. Lots of food choices very close.

The staff was friendly but that ends the positive portion of this review. The door to the room hung loosely in it's frame and had to be pulled toward you and lifted for the electronic key to work. Tiles in the bathroom that had fallen off were sloppily caulked back in place leaving gaps for dirt and debris to accumliate. The WiFi signal was too week to be functional. There was a chance at redemption at breakfast but wasn't realized. The food was so dried out and stale as to render it virtually inedible. IMHO, the $30 pet fee was excessive since time had done way more damage than a little Frenchie could possibly do.

Perfect stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a great stay. However, when I arrived I used the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for some time, then stood up and saw a spider in the toilet. Having realized I was just exposed to the little guy, I felt uncomfortable. He could have crawled into my butt or worse. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast smelled good when we checked out.

The room was clean but it was extremely hard to get the door locked!! When using the shower, I was ankle deep in water. Not the best place but not the absolute worst either. Area was ok. It was a decent spot to sleep for the night
