"Good for the price and last minute pick."

The front desk staff was awesome! He was friendly and checked us in super quick.

It was older, but kind of expected. My kids enjoyed the pool.

The property is old and needs some updating but I enjoyed my stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. They knew the places to go to eat. The rooms were big and clean, the bed was very comfortable, and everything in the rooms like the refrigerator & shower worked well. It was an excellent price. I would stay there again.

Not much left . They didn't make enough for the amount of people that were there.

The very wet carpet like a pipe had broke.

The hotel and staff were fine. The bus load of people staying there were slobs, annoying and breakfast "grab-it-all" idiots.

"It was ok for the time we were there. It was a one time stay in that town."

7.0

Most of the breakfast was good. They ran out of the gravy for the biscuits & then refilled the pot with cold gray. Not good. Should have warmed it first. The waffles were very good.

The floor in the room had something sticky on it so I cleaned it so I could walk there.

Disappointed. I enjoyed yogurt. OJ a little tart for my stomach. I do not eat this kind of food. Graves I just never cared for. Cold cereals I do not eat very often. I like a cinnamon or blueberry bagel , coffee with French vanilla creamer and banana and yogurt.

Gravy.
