Great service. Bed was a little old but after a long hike it was nice to have a place to sleep indoors. Didn't get a chance to check out the pool but it looked nice. Good food nearby.

There is inadequate insulation in the walls: voices & plumbing sounds were clearly audible. The surrounding area is rather rundown & unattractive otherwise the location was great for my needs.

We had a large room and large bathroom so it made it easy to maneuver in my wheelchair. It was called a Senior room. Larger fridge and freezer, table with 2 chairs and little sofa. Service was good. Checkin was great.

Really friendly folks at the front desk. Gave me a great recommendation for a place to eat nearby. The room is fine in every regard except the street noise. My room is close to Main Street and so some road noise. A room farther back would fix that problem.
