The people who work here are absolutely wonderful. It could be updated but ok. I did get very bit up by perhaps spiders on my stay. I left with at least 11 bites. I was itchy but didn't realize how bad it was until I was on my way home. I don't fully blame them but probably won't stay there again. Not sure

I was questioned about my kids and how old they were even though I had already paid for the hotel room that night. I’ve never had that experience before not sure why all of a sudden it matters.

My husband and I stayed here while visiting family over the Thanksgiving weekend. Our room was clean and quiet, with cleaning service everyday if we wanted which was so nice! Breakfast was good although not a lot of variety. Bed was comfortable and all of the staff that we dealt with were friendly and helpful.
