Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location close to major highways, making it easy to explore the area. While the service was friendly and cheerful, there were instances of staff entering rooms without knocking. The dining options were basic, with guests having to exit the building to access the main office.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and better than what you'd find in a typical hotel chain. The service was helpful though not the warmest, and the location was convenient for our needs despite some drawbacks. The dining options were basic, and the facilities were in need of repair or replacement.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The room was much better than I expected, although it had a really bad smell of cigarette smoke that was quite off-putting. The place was quiet, but you could tell it was a bit beat up in some areas.
