Staff was friendly. We loved the front desk employee that checked us in. He was friendly, personable, and humorous. Excellent hospitality. I was very happy with the location and proximity to state parks. The building is a little outdated but not a concern.

Second time staying here! Staff is so friendly and willing to help. Room is much nicer than expected however, both times there were other people’s hair in shower and this time “chest hair” on the tissue box cover on the toilet tank.

Room seemed in need of touchups-rusty towel hooks, paint peeling. No safe and microwave was a bummer. While bed is comfy pillows get flat really easy. Also it was chilly in the room if you weren’t in the direction of the heat. Staff was nice and accommodating.
