The double room was small but clean and comfortable. And best of all, it was an affordable option for a grandma, grandchildren and a dog that wanted to stay close to the Rotary Park ball fields without spending an arm and a leg. The shower was good and hot. The breakfast was also good. We all slept well and left feeling good!

My family and I were there for a baseball tournament. It was a place to sleep. There was a hand print on the bed frame and housekeeping tends to leave cleaning half done. The continental breakfast, we thought was a plus. However, we found out that what was offered was fine for a quick snack, but not for pregame meal. We woke up one morning to find a vehicle outside our door with three women sleeping in it, and one afternoon we came back to find our room door wide open, the cleaning cart outside but no staff. Anyone could have walked in and taken somthing.something. while we were not expecting much, we did expect to feel safe and it to be clean. Both were questionable.
