7.8
Beds are often described as comfortable and rooms clean, but some guests reported uncomfortable beds, small TVs, dated rooms, uneven floors and minor maintenance issues.
Amenities
7.1
Breakfast offerings are good, but the pool and surrounding areas need attention (over-chlorinated, rust, paint chipping) and renovation activity affects some facilities.
Value for Money
8.6
Many reviewers call the hotel affordable and a good value for the price, noting they would stay again despite minor issues.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast is frequently praised as tasty with hot options, though there are service/handling concerns (waffles presentation, decaf running out) that temper the score.
Overall Experience

I was traveling from several hours away to attend a wake for a close friend. The hotel staff was considerate to let me check in early so I could freshen up before going to the funeral.They were very accommodating and friendly. I appreciate the kindness during a difficult time.

Pros:

We stayed here a few times and have more in the future.
Minor complaints but hotel is under construction so understandable.
Servesafe wise some of the food should be served differently. Waffles for example are meant to be served frozen to toaster of Eggos or a generic type. Should not be thawed out. My concerns are ARE they restored and how and then reserved.
Some floors are uneven as u walk and my ankle has rolled. Hopefully this will be a fix soon
Lobby is always 80 degrees and pool smells over chlorinated.
I will still choose this hotel as these are minor
