Front counter guy (I forgot his name) was great. Very helpful, friendly and informative. The hotel itself was very clean and well kept. The negative factor is there was no elevator to get to the second floor. Very hard with guests that walk with canes to bring luggage up and down the stairs. Except for the rude and loud rugby players that stayed there the stay was good

Staff is amazing. Nice stay for a couple nights. Needs updating.
The exterior was fairly ordinary, but the inside was very clean and pleasant. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely stay here again in the future.
All of the staff are really nice from the front desk to housekeeping I am in the process of buying a house and have been staying here for a few months and the staff here is great
Staff was friendly. We loved the front desk employee that checked us in. He was friendly, personable, and humorous. Excellent hospitality. I was very happy with the location and proximity to state parks. The building is a little outdated but not a concern.
Rooms were great, clean and friendly staff. Love the full suite with fridge, dishwasher, stove, couches, and fireplace. Good variety of hot breakfast from eggs, sausage, potatoes, crockpot options, and the typical cold breakfast option.
