Thanksgiving stay

The hotel was clean, had everything we needed, and was conveniently located. However, the roosters on the property woke us up at 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and the surrounding neighbors in other rooms were very loud when they unloaded into their rooms around 11:00 p.m. Were it not for our very poor sleep we would have given a higher score.

Unhappy

The rooms are very run down & old. The water drains are slow. Only one ice machine worked & it was on the far side of the complex. The restaurant they advertise is not open (which was a major reason for our picking this hotel). The staff was friendly! There were a lot of chickens & crowing roosters around that were cute. Definitely not worth the price; we will not return.

nowhere near as good at it was

Stayed there, nostalgically, remembering the place from 9 years ago. Bar and check-in are updated, which was nice, but the room looked old, refrigerator buzzed most of the night, bed felt worn, and the damn chickens/roosters made noise constantly. In addition, they did away with the nice breakfast for a sub-par continental offering and they added a $2.99 "convenience charge" for paying with a credit card. Do most of their guests pay in cash by the hour???

Too many chickens

This is a very nice little place but there is one big problem. There are many roosters on the property and they start crowing at 3:30-4:00 am.

This is a very charming hotel. It could probably benefit from some upgrades but it is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would come back in the future.
