Lesley

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was clean and convenient to attractions and dining options. Very walkable. Staff was courteous. The walls between the rooms are fairly thick. This was greatly appreciated when the barn animals next to us thought it was acceptable behavior to have loud drunken brawls each night with yelling, wretching, and moving furniture. There was no front desk call option on the room phone and I didn't think it warranted a 911 call. But it would have been nice to be able to call the front desk easily for some help. I was too uncomfortable to go out there by myself in the middle of the night to knock on the door. And I know the nice families with their kids staying at the hotel for spring break would have appreciated it too. In spite of that experience, I would definitely give the hotel another chance.

Old School Motel
Old school motel. Room was clean but a little worn. The towels were washed but stained, and the in general looked tired. New vinyl flooring was a nice addition. Beds were not the most comfortable but not bad for one night. Would stay here again.

The property is older, but is clean. We enjoyed our stay, close to everything. Beds are a little softer than I like, but overall was pretty comfortable. Pleasantly surprised for sure!
