Wonderful, recently renovated rooms! Small but plenty of space for one or two guests. Very quaint with comfortable beds. I had a hard time finding a variety of tv channels and could not access YouTube streaming but wasn’t a deal breaker. Would definitely stay again and found a great price on Expedia!

Great location, staff, and overall property. It’s cool they’re pet friendly and even have a dedicated section for them. The breakfast was below average with no hot food. Only pastries, coffee, fruit, and yogurt. For the price, breakfast isn’t really something to complain about though. Will definitely stay again.

Nice stay

Everything was really nice, the price was excellent and I would stay there again but our room was one off from the highway and it was very loud.I drew the shades put on the fans in the room and thankfully travel with a white noise machine and we could still hear trucks. If you know in advance then you are prepared for it.

Arrived and only after checking in and going to our room did we see that the water heater was broken at the hotel and the rug in our room (right next to where repairs were happening) was soaking wet. Obviously they had no way of knowing they’d need to replace the water heater but 1) they could have told us at check in and 2) the front desk person was so aggressive and hostile that it was actually shocking, and especially considering the fact that there was no water in an entire building of the property. It was super disappointing and upsetting. Our money was eventually refunded but truly without any help from the property. I’ve stayed there before but really can’t see myself staying again in light of the behavior of one particularly aggressive staff person.
