Definitely stay here!
Got there late at night after spontaneously booking it 20 minutes prior, and the owner/worker/whoever was finishing setting up our room, met us outside, offered to help us set up the pull out couch and get us more blankets and stuff. He was SO nice. Our room was awesome because it had 3 beds and pull-out (not all do there) and it was CHEAP. Super clean. I wished we could have stayed longer to appreciate it!

We booked thru Hotels.com. Normally, I make sure to check and double check things to verify what/when I’m making the reservation. I was all set to purchase the night stay but realized I liked tHEIR AIG offer and went back to add it in (it was half price and we were making our way back to our house in FL…a lot of extra anxiety. Hotels.com webpage kept flipping dates on me so I was trying to be sure to veriry. The full AIG price, I would not have bothered with, however, the AIG OFFER for $4.50 of instead $9, I thought sounded great. Went back to page where I left it in my cart, and didn’t realize the site flipped it back to booking THAT night instead of the next night. I contacted right away. They said it was a no show…so basically, to bad, so sad! Se wet me to be that this week, in particular, they could have worked with us.,we needed a room for the night and they wouldn’t have been out a cent! All they would have had to do is change our booking to that night!

The staff at this hotel was excellent. The person that checked me is was friendly, efficient and helpful. The person who was working in the breakfast area the next morning was terrific and kept checking with guests to see if they needed anything. The breakfast assortment was excellent, there was a huge variety of items to choose from. The hotel was very quiet.

I had higher hopes. The location is what it is; It was convenient and right off the main highway so a little loud, which is totally understandable. The bar was that unfortunately, after a long travel day, there was no hot water in the as there was a repair being done so it was shut off. The bed was creaky and not very comfortable, and the AC was very loud when it would kick on every half hour or so. Trying to go to sleep without a shower and feeling sticky, after a hot 14 hour travel day in an uncomfortable bed with a loud AC was not ideal. I spoke to the manager the next morning and she seems super dismissive and only gave me a $10 discount off the room which didn’t leave me feeling good.

Checked out after one night. Room was advertised as handicap accessible. A bathtub/shower is not accessible to anyone with mobility limitations, including me. That listing needs to be corrected to indicate there is no wheelchair accessible shower.

We have stayed here for about 14 years. Alone, family and with our grandchildren. This was my first visit with our puppy. They put me in a pet friendly room that I pay extra for. It was the worst stay we have had. Staff reminded me of motel 6 staff. I was so disappointed.
