Worst check-in experience ever
Tried to check in for 10 minutes. Followed their “lift phone” directions 4x and no one showed up. Finally went through “EmployeesOnly” door and found someone. She yelled at us - raised her voice - and told us to get out of her space. When we tried to explain that we had tried the phone procedure she said we just should have waited, we had no business looking for an employee. Nice enough hotel, terrible impression. Would look elsewhere next time.

Rough start with new owners.
Place looks great upon arrival. Decently cleaned. Top reason for choosing the location was it had bar (very small town with limited options) but it was closed. Told they are waiting for license. Bed was well worn. Breakfast didn’t include hot eggs, no breakfast meats, no orange juice. Told due to supply issues. Did receive $15 discount due to these issues.
