"The room and breakfast was fantastic!!! We got a Suite, w/ 2 queen beds and sleeper sofa. It easily sleeps 6; could be more with an air mattress, if needed/allowed. The only issue we had was after a long drive, checking in, then dinner, we had just a few minutes for the pool. The guy who checked us in knew we got checked in late, but kicked us out of the pool at 10 sharp. The hours were 8 to 10 which is silly. In the past, we have stayed at other locations and the staff had allowed the doors to the pool to stay open a while longer to accommodate. So after a long drive, check in, finally getting dinner, changed and getting to the pool, my kids had less than 10 minutes to swim/play. Kids deserve to wind down during travel. I gave four stars for this because I believe that if you’re paying for a hotel that has a pool, especially a really cool pool like this one does, that they should keep the doors open longer, till 12a, and consider the fact that people are traveling and part of the fun is the pool! We ended up needing to take the kids back to the pool to play in the morning for an hour which of course delayed our plans for the day. The water pump for the slide, as well as the whale and turtle, were also broken. Staff should be more accommodating/friendly, especially when they can see a 4 yr old has been looking forward to that pool all day. It was the sole reason for booking THIS particular hotel, 40 minutes away from our destination the next morning!"
"Had a room with a full size range whuch was unexpected and nice. The sheets had lint on them . Room was fine . The breakfast had no coffee, and food was not good to look at except the waffle maker.
For a small town its ok i would stay again."
"Due to remodeling in progress there was considerable dust everywhere. Work being done in the room next to us until about midnight sounded like rats in the wall. Otherwise we were comfortable. Check in host spoke poor english, that along with my poor hearing made it a little difficult for me. "
"Great old hotel! Really nice area and you can’t beat the price. If you are looking for modern and ritzy, this ain’t the place for you. If you are looking for a throwback, classic old hotel with character, give it a try!"
"Some of the nicest owners and staff I have ever dealt with at a hotel!! Definitely will stay here everytime I am in town they won my business over without a doubt!!!"
