The hotel is being remodeled, but it did not interfere with my stay. My room was clean, the staff was helpful, and my nights sleep was excellent. The breakfast the next morning was beter than expected at a hotel. I was unsure when I saw that there was some renovation going on when I stopped, but I am glad I did. I had a very nice stay and would gladly stop in again. Also, very reasonable price!

The room I had was very small, the bed did seem newer, but it was very rockhard and so were the pillows. You had them young children at nine-year-old and a 14-year-old working like they weren’t just helping out they were working.

Was pleasantly surprised after reading previous reviews. They are renovating rooms and you can tell they are putting forth an effort to improve the place inside and out. The room we stayed in was basically brand new, even had to peel the plastic off the mirror. There are areas that are currently being renovated but it didn't effect our stay.
