We started out in the wrong room for one room.After everything was unpacked and carried up the stairs,we had to move. Given a key for one room and there was luggage in it, then with the the new room key ,the room reeked of weed and weed was found on the floor of the room. We did not feel safe enough to spend the night and we all left the facility.

A good place for travelers to have a rest under a fairly cheap price. Free parking, AC, and even free coffee in the morning though the facilities look a little bit old.

The room was clean but the building is not insulated so it was freezing walking the halls to get to the room.

Good stop for a restful night, no breakfast
One night stay, just passing through, had everything I needed for a great price. Steps to 2nd floor, not sure if there was an elevator because I didn’t needed. No breakfast was fine with me and we found a good place near by at Callaghan’s Resteraunr

Great value
Had to cut the trip short. Hotel was clean. Pool was nice. Staff were friendly. Not a fan of the extra 75 dollar hold but for the value. I’d go again.

Stay was average, but flat pillows that had clean pillow cases but stained pillows. Loose or non working outlets. But otherwise a nice quiet stay. Friendly and helpful staff.

Pool was not heated so it was pretty cold; also, no breakfast. Room was fine though and parking was convenient.
