"Rooms were a little dated and there was hair everywhere. On the bright side breakfast was really really good. You could tell the preparers really cared vs. just warming things up. I took pictures of the hair on the floor and underneath the sink, but of course I deleted them."

"If you need a roof over your head for a few days this is perfect for you. The staff was friendly, the area was quiet. The bedding was clean, the water was hot, and there were no bugs. There is a bit of a funky smell but nothing a bit of fabreeze couldn't tackle."
