I love a nice quiet hotel and this place delivered. Staff was accommodating and friendly. My rooms were clean to boot.
Nice little hotel, especially for the price. We were having trouble with our remote, and the front desk clerk came to our room to check it out. She said it needed to be reprogrammed, so she left with it and came back with a remote that worked! Housekeeping asked if our room needed to be serviced; haven't been asked since COVID began! The beds were comfy, and the furnishings looked well taken care of. I would stay here again!
I’ve stayed at this location a few times when visiting family. One thing that always stands out is the great service from the employees. They are always very friendly and helpful! This location is a bit older and could use updating, but it’s very well maintained and clean. My room only had one privacy curtain and it didn’t cover the entire window. I was on the second floor so it wasn’t a huge deal, but that’s honestly the only thing I’d suggest to be fixed. Overall I’d still recommend staying here for the clean room, comfy bed, tons of tv channels, great location in town and good breakfast.
I recently stayed here and the service was excellent the lady at the front desk did a good job the breakfast was okay the rooms were excellent very clean and organized I give it 5 stars ...
