This place is in such need of upkeep. Rooms feel dirty and smell dirty. Holes in the wall, cig burns everywhere, just very unpleasant. Front desk person not very friendly. We regretted choosing this place. Pool police taped off. Maybe under repair.

We decided to take a risk and stay here this past weekend because all of the other local hotels were booked. We had to be up and out early and didn't know what the traffic would be so we wanted to be close by to where we needed to be. Anyways, we checked in with our daughter, two sons, and... More

The location off the 78 is very convenient. Good size rooms at a reasonable rate. Staff was helpful when necessary and rooms were cleaned properly. A light breakfast was provided near the office with inside and outside seating.
