Huge place. Almost like a former convention center? Anyway, we arrived after midnight and were absolutely exhausted. There were only 4 cars total in the parking lot. Not many people on a Friday night…creepy. We just wanted to get in bed. Instead… The hostess sent us to the furthest room, around the hotel maze (it was so hard maneuver since you go through several closed doors AND they have no signs) on the top floor— which is the 3rd floor, but you push the level 2 button on the elevator???) We got lost. It took 20 minutes to find our room, and it was literally the very last room at the very end of the last possible hall we could find. Totally a mess!

Definitely an older hotel. The towels have been used many, many times and were not fluffy at all. There was a dripping in one of the stairwells so the carpet was wet. The breakfast was good and the cost of my stay was low so those were good points.

Courteous staff. Fair bed and breakfast. The halls were freezing which made the bathroom area on the cold side. The hand towels smelled funny and the bathroom floor was a bit sticky. But all in all a good value for the price.

The facility is dated. The bathroom was worn and in need of renovations. One very thin blanket between two sheets. Luke warm water in the shower. The breakfast was good with real scrambled eggs rather than the watery powdered eggs of many free breakfast buffets.

Sad to see what was formally a Castle Jumer’s Inn reduced to cookie cutter mid-range hotel with slot machines in the lobby. Perfectly fine for short visits.
