Great place to stay with the family. You get a lot of bang for your back here. A few minor upkeep issues were noticed during our stay but definitely nothing that would keep us from returning. We will be back!

The halls and floors were older and outdated. For the price of the rooms, I expected a little more quality. Other than that, check in was seamless, bed and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast buffet is $25.95.
