We’ve stayed here many times and we haven’t had an issue until this time. We got a room with a kitchenette for Thanksgiving, but the kitchen was lacking and didn’t have basics including hot pads (to pull casserole dishes out of the oven), and there was no scrub pad to wash dishes. I was sick late one night (sick enough not to be able to drive) and I wanted to order some OTC meds & 7-up from a store and have them DoorDashed to me, but the internet wasn’t working so I was unable to. Otherwise, this place was good.

The property is close to where I needed to go. The breakfast was so,so. There was not scrambled eggs, only hard boiled. There wasn't any water in the room, but the staff seemed to be hard working and friendly.

I really enjoyed almost everything about my experience. Checking in was very fast and easy. I arrived and was in my room within minutes. Everything from the room to the property were very clean and well cared for. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. The only issue I ran into was someone from the room next door snored so loudly that it actually woke me up in the night and kept me from getting much sleep. I don’t want this to be confused for poor construction or something like that. During the day when people in other people were up and active there was no sound at all. So it’s not like the walls are super thin, it was just luck of the draw that whoever was in that room was exceptionally loud when they sleep. I was not able to hear other people’s TV or people walking outside the room. I think it was an extraordinary circumstance, however I didn’t get much rest.
