The doors to the rooms really need to be replaced. The deadlock barely worked and there no additional locks or safety latches on the door. I feel like if you leaned on it too hard, it would open. Did not feel safe.

The room was spacious yet simple in layout. There was a full refrigerator, king bed, and a roomy bathroom. We never felt like we were bumping into furniture like we often have at other lodgings. The price was right for that area, too!

The front desk team was very courteous and accommodating. The rooms were clean. The only complaint is that the little coffee maker wasn’t working. I like to make a cup when I get up in the morning. I was able to go to the front desk area for a cup.

An economical place to spend the night
It was National Cherry Festival and Fourth of July week-end. The price here was a third of surrounding places. I just needed a place for the night. Except for the smell (perhaps cigarettes) it was adequate.
