Would not reccomend this hotel/motel to anybody. Upon check in we noticed the elevator is broken as well as the pool and hot tub are both down until mid april (one of the only reasons we booked was for the pool and hot tub). When entering our room it had a strong odor and seemed dirty. The towels had stains on them, the tv was constantly glitching, the phone barely worked and there wasn’t an outlet on one of the sides of the bed, not to mention how thin the covers on the bed were - we froze the entire night. When showering we realized they don’t provide any soap and there is no vent in the washroom to let the moisture out. On one of our nights at the hotel around 1am we noticed a creepy man looking through our bathroom window (at the back of the place) the lobby simply told us to “lock our doors”. we soon realized that window doesn’t lock and he could easily come in if he wanted to. I would recommend spending a few extra dollars and stay at a different place.

Although I wasn’t expecting anything more, I was very disappointed with the room as it smelled like stale cigarette smoke, cheap linens and in need of some updates

It was clean and quiet. There were a couple of minor inconveniences. The pool and hot tub were down for maintenance. The elevator broke down on the first night, was repaired the next day then broke again for the rest of the weekend. The television had a small nick/scratch that left a noticeable white mark when watching tv. Some of the channels would often pixelate causing some viewing issues. The bed was a little bouncy, noticeable that when my spouse would move, so would I. All that aside I still enjoyed the room very much. It was very quiet, clean and the staff were very friendly. I would stay again with no hesitation.
