ExcellentOct 20199.2
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We actually arrived a day early and they went out of their way to make sure that we had the rooms that we needed without one of us moving. The rooms were very clean also.

MediocreOct 20193.8
Room was old and tired, property was dated and located out of town. Noisy "critters" all night...we hoped they were outside the room in the woods behind our room and not inside. Also, we could hear the people in the next room talking when in our room. Water from bathroom sink had a strong sulpher smell in the morning. Rooms small and dark.

GoodOct 20196.7
Breakfast facilities were lacking tables and chairs. Had to take back to your room. Price was good for the area.
A few small insects seen in the washroom. May require an exterminator.

Minna the lady who checked us in and takes care of your needs. Very friendly and helpful
The parking lot needs major repair. Especially when coming in. Hole could really damage your car. I knew about it from reading reviews. Hotel and rooms Could use some renovations
