Never again
Pros:

I liked the location.

Cons:

Bathroom tub wouldn't drain
The sink was slow to drain
The gutter felt off and was banging on our windows.The staff said there was no maintenance available on Saturday. She said she would move us to another room.
When we went to move was told no room was available. I will never stay there again !

Just what we needed for one night
Pros:

Breakfast good, staff helpful

Cons:

not much one can do but the location is kind of unpleasant, we first pulled up to the Red Lion which is in need of help. Happily looked around the corner.

I would definitely come back. It was affordable and I appreciate cleanliness above everything else.
Pros:

The breakfast was really good. It would have been great if there were more celiac friendly items but the staff member on site was super helpful and offered up what were gluten free safe items. I appreicated the cleanliness of the rooms and the gym.

Cons:

The pool was not warm enough to swim in and didn't look very clean. I moved from one room because the toilet was running. The second room's faucet leaked onto the counter when you turned it on. I mentioned both to staff. Perhaps have the maintenance person do more checks for each room. The initial person who checked me in couldn't tell me how to turn off the air conditioner but did get back to me after checking with a coworker. Better training would have remedied the first comment.

So disappointed
Pros:

Breakfast was great

Cons:

Was charged incorrect amount and impossible to get a hold of manager. Called so many times, left messages, emailed. No communication back. Tried to resolve person and they said I had to speak with the manager who wasn’t there. They left a message for her as well.
