The staff, service and cleanliness of the facilities were consistently good. My only issue were the channels available through the TV. I could not locate local channels, the golf channel was listed, but unavailable on the TV and I could not utilize my own Streaming Stick on the TV as an alternative. Less of a problem if staying just a night or two but I was here for a working week, so I noticed it more.

Good place to stay
We arrived later then we planned but that was no problem for us checking in. The employees were super nice. The 1st room we were in smelled like a sewer was backing up but they quicly and easily changed us to another room. Breakfast service bar was great. Alot of choices and the employee was very friendly, greating people when they came in. If i had to say a negative thing about the stay it would be the size of the poole towels. Very small.

Very nice. But don’t stay here. So noisy! Not able to sleep. For some reason the 2 old people(us) were given room by outside entrance. People talking and slamming outside door and their room doors! Drove 6 hours to get here for a funeral. Will not have much sleep before we attend funeral and drive 6 hours back home. Also horrible pillows.

This place was nice. People at the desk were very nice. The first night we slept there they were doing laundry next-door and our bed was vibrating, along with the floor. Obviously we didn’t have a great sleep that night. We informed them of this the following morning, and they said they would tell housekeeping not to do laundry until later in the morning. They did not change our room. Then, early this morning, we felt, just for a short bit, the bed vibrate once again. We even put a note on the door saying don’t do The laundry until after 8 AM. Luckily, the vibrating was just a short time. We liked the location and the breakfast was decent. We would stay there again.
