Very nice place. This was my first stay. I did not realize they did not have free breakfast and that is on me. This has a nice kitchenette and dining table for 2, but the kitchenette does not have any dishes, pans etc. all the cabinets were empty, but dirty inside. I had the single queen bed. The rest of the place was very clean.

We were in a handicapped accessible room per request. The room had lots of moving room however I would prefer a walk-in shower rather than the tub with shower hose. It did have lots of grab bars and I used them all getting in and out of the tub. The beds were low but we understand for people in wheelchairs however with bad knees, a little too low. We appreciated the full- size freig even though we were only there one night. We would definitely stay here again.

We were traveling through and really enjoyed our 1 night stay. Check in was a breeze and it was conveniently located. The hotel and our room were very clean, which we really appreciated. After a long day of driving, we rested comfortably in our cozy room. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I reserved the room on Expedia and paid full amount for my 2 night stay. When I checked in I was asked for a credit card and was charged again for the full 2 night stay. I didn't realize this until a got home. I called the hotel and had them email me a receipt. The amount was different than the expedia bill so I checked my credit card and found I was charged twice. I called back to have the manager call me. Other than billing problem the stay was fine.

Front desk was very unorganized employee that waited on me was trying to do a million things at once. Apologized to me and said I’ve been up for over 24 hours. Took 10-15 mins before he even noticed we were at the counter. The lady that was working with him later on glared at me every time I went thru the lobby.
