The place is going through renovation. Rooms are renovated but still have old tiles and doors etc. It is fine for a short stay but I won’t consider a vacation hotel stay.

It was better than expected. While the front entrance is under construction at the moment I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in the alternative entrance to to the front desk. Texted my partner saying he needs to come back with me. Sadly I stopped in unexpectedly due to poor weather and I won’t have a chance to check out the restaurant, pool, arcade, pool tables and more.

Enjoyed our stay. One caveat is the pool was quite busy during the day with people with passes that weren’t staying there. They made it difficult to swim and they complained if there was a splash close to them. Hotel people were very helpful is trying to straighten it out. Still, will likely stay again so grand kids can enjoy the pool.

Nice motel for the price.

Don’t let the outside of the hotel scare you. It looks like a 70s motel but the inside is lovely. Clean, friendly staff. The rooms could use some updating which appears to be in progress as I did see some Reno’s happening. The pool was a great temperature. It appears that the pool/fitness area is used by the public as a membership so be advised it might be a bit busy. Breakfast was a standard continental with warm food options. Overall a great stay and I would go back again

Only like was room was good. Where to start on bad, front doors under construction no mention at booking (Handicapped room booked) had to walk around to side make way over snow piles to get in. Walkways no shoveled very unsafe for anyone let alone handicapped person. Got to front desk they were talking to some TV repair guy and rather than deal with paying customer said he will be with me when finished with TV guy?? Woke up in morning snow from night before there was a shovel left by the door to shovel path and vehicle out from snow??? This was late morning why was it not done?? Seem like no one cared to much about anything. Stay away.

Front entrance is not accessible due to renovations, which we were not informed of. All outlets along one wall did not work, extension cords for TV, microwave, lamps, fridge all in one outlet. When we did get power to the TV, it still didn’t work. Attempt to call front desk from room did not connect. Accessed front desk from our cellphone and was told a porter would be up to address the electrical issues however no one did come to our room. We notified front desk of our concerns again and they offered no discount for our inconveniences stating that since we booked through Expedia, there was nothing they could do.
