Sadly my weekend was ruined by a snotty employee. She was blatantly rude to me and my gorgeous husband Brad. We were trying to check in late Friday night when a crazy lady, Emma, screamed at us for being in her way. I am appalled this business lets a crazy lady like her run around and scream an innocent guest who are tried. I am never returning. Weekend = ruined

For a small town hotel this is alright. There is no elevator it's not wheelchair friendly as there…read moreis a pretty big bump to get from the ramp/sidewalk into the smallest lobby. They do offer free breakfast which is great and it starts at 6am which is also good because we like to get going early. Lots of TV channels and it had a well lit parking lot. Beds are comfortable and clean. My kid did find two bottle caps so not as clean as it should be. Bathroom is small but it does have a shower and toilet so no complaints! Also they provided enough clean towels that we didn't need to ask for more. One further complaint was it's advertised as free WiFi, however there is no password or instructions on how to get on. As a millennial I know how to get on the interwebs but it was taking me to their site and wouldn't let me log in. It was late enough that I wasn't going to bother with it so I do recommend asking about instructions when you check in.

Sheets were covered in hair, had not been changed from previous guests. Gross! When I complained…read morethey changed them. Room was pretty dusty and needed a good scrubbing, especially the bathroom! Found a pill on the floor so vaccuming must not happen often either. Breakfast was a joke, prepackaged junk, like Little Debbie's. Was very quiet... because for a Saturday night place was dead and looked pretty empty. Now I know why. I have seen worse but it's not good when your spending over 100 a night for a room!

What a fabulous find!…read more We rolled in around 1 or 2am, exhausted. There wasn't anyone in the lobby, so, we went ahead to the parking garage & came back. The parking garage is conveniently located, easy to access, spots are reserved for guests & validated. On our return, the desk was still empty so we called as instructed. We were greeted promptly by staff, including a trainee. Both were friendly & we were checked in quickly to our VERY QUIET ROOM. I was expecting it to be noisy on rolling up, but we were pleasantly surprised by the sound-deadening brick added to the walls. We slept great! The room temperatue didnt fluctuate wildly & the bed was comfy. We skipped breakfast we slept so well. If I were to really look for something to complain about, it would be that there were 3 decaf coffee pods & only one caffeinated. We brought our own, so turns out we didn't have to fight over the good 1

The heating/cooling units emit a horrible noise making them impossible to use at night if you want to get any sleep. When we called to ask about the issue, the front desk staff confirmed this was something they were aware of, it happened in many of the units and a solution hadn't been identified. Yeah people, most folks who stay in hotel/motel rooms plan to sleep. I would not recommend anyone staying there unless you have packed ear plugs. Maybe the place should hand them out since they're aware this is a problem

The music downstairs in the lobby at all times though I think can def be lowered a few decibels. We don't need Pitbull blasting eardrums out at 10 am. I had to ask a few times for late check out and they kept saying they noted it down....but didn't. But was able to so for that I'm grateful because I arrived super late and was working from my room. Upstairs was pretty quiet, which was nice. I'd stay again if I'm ever in the area.

I really like this place! We booked a suite and it worked out well for us. The property has been…read morethoughtfully restored, and contains a lot of souvenirs of local history. The lobby boasts an enormous period-correct mosaic tile floor in earth tones. There's quite a lot of art ranging from kitsch to bronzes in the classical vein. Our suite had four rooms: a bedroom, a living room, a dining room with a sink/cabinets, and an armoire, and a bathroom. The decor is professional in a style you might call rural Americana but without quilts. Most of the walls are painted sage green and the outlet and switch covers match. The beds were firm, probably vintage, and reasonably comfortable. The bathroom has lovely multicolor granite tiles and a vintage table for a vanity. Don't be surprised if the floor in your room tilts - this place is old! When we stayed, the pillows could have used a refresh. And I'm not sure what the housekeeping schedule is, but we stayed three nights and there was no towel/turn-down service in that time. I'm reluctantly taking a star off for these two factors. The service is friendly, professional, and responsive. When we had a question but no one could answer the phone, they saw that we had called and called us right back!

She was professional, but kind of cool and not particularly friendly or conversational when I attempted to engage about the local area, the hotel, etc. The other reason for a one star deduct is that there is just about nothing else conveniently located to the hotel. Food, etc, you are basically on your own. No restaurants or anything. Each of those things merit a half star deduction in my mind, total of one down. I'd stay again. Likely it had just been a long day for the person checking us in. The room was very nice, clean, etc. Excellent access to the highway. 4/5 for sure, which is pretty good.
