The hotel needs updating. The bed was very uncomfortable, bedding was rough, drapes were water stained and the water ran rusty in the bathroom for minutes before clearing up. The good, the lady at the front desk was nice and the hotel was clean.

Cleanliness was very good. No fan in the bathroom just a vent. 3 friends shared the room. I had the sofa bed. It was comfy but the extra "blanket" was more like a sheet. Pool was nice but no not tub. Breakfast was excellent & staff very friendly.

This is a very nice non-chain hotel. The cleanliness was impressive. The only issue, and it was minor, was the check-in process. I saw this as in issue for others. Maybe a new program or process would be helpful.

We stayed only one night but were very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and loved the flooring without carpet. Parking lot is well lit and plenty of spaces available.
