My room smelled like dirty laundry when I walked in supposedly right after being cleaned. Lots of railroad and other workers stay there, if you plan to leave or eat early, you just can’t. The pool hasn’t been operational in years. It looks like so. I don’t know why they still say they have a pool and hot tub because they do not

Breakfast was good for a continental. Shower was strong and hot. Pool was closed! Bed was very stiff and room tv was pretty small by modern standards. Overall average experience at best for 3 star with pool closure being a huge disappointment my family was unaware of when booked. Small town problem i guess.
