We asked for a main floor room to accommodate a disability. Even though we didn’t check in until 10:00 pm, they honoured our request. Room was clean and nice. Parking was right outside the door.

We stop in annually, each stay has been great. Rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. We get a kitchenette room. The walking trails behind the hotel are nice to stretch your legs after a long drive. The Grill has wonderful food.

Booked with a group who all booked through Expedia and were told that we had to have the smallest room in the complex because we booked with Expedia. I’ve never had that level of service before I usually get better service because I’m an Expedia Goldmember.

Bathroom was dirty with a big dead bug on the shower wall. Flies in the room. Building halls and stairway were old and dirty. This place could use remodelling. Very rundown. Bedding was fine though.
