Stayed here annually for many years when it was a Best Western hotel. It is under new management without the BW franchise now. Many of the amenities (ice machines, washers and dryers , etc.) were either down or missing. Room was clean and adequate and staff willingly provided a needed rollout bed for a third person. Breakfast offered less variety but was adequate. The good news is that the room rate was significantly less than the BW rate.
