Clean and fulfilled our need for a room to stay in but nothing exciting. WORST hotel coffee we have ever had! Can’t even consider what they served as real coffee.

The staff was accommodating and helpful, especially in offering suggestions for local tourist spots. I appreciate the little hospitality touches (water, tea, coffee available 24/7) and the convenience of the ice machine. Breakfast area was spotless and the selection offered a great variety. Wish a more neutral news channel or the Weather Channel could have been on the TV. Fox was hard to swallow in the morning.

Hotel is older but clean. AC unit rattles and is loud but works. Breakfast could be better for the price of stay. Cold eggs and barely warm sausage links. For the price the breakfast could’ve been better.
