Okay for a short stay, not ideal.
Pros:

Loved the location. Staff was very kind. Breakfast was really good.

Cons:

No free wifi, and cell phone service is awful inside the hotel. It’s a pretty outdated hotel. Pool is more like a Motel 8 pool, and visibly wasn’t clean although it was open. Our shampoo dispenser was broken, and the body wash dispenser was completely out of body wash. Upkeep just wasn’t the best.

Perfect
Pros:

Staff was friendly and really seemed to enjoy their job. Everything in the room was spotless and towels and linen were clean. Elevator kinda smelled like oil and lots of handprints smeared on the walls which was a bit surprising to see after day two.

Cons:

Since the building is not quite on the edge of the Main Street it was easily passed and then we had to turn around to go in. Maybe having the entrance sign a little larger would be nice.

Stay was good. Good location and friendly staff. Outside and hall rugs could use a little TLC.
Pros:

Staff was great. Very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Hotel and rooms looking a little used and run down. Trash on the hall floors and in the elevator. Landscape could use a manicure and cleanup.

Pros:

Property was very clean, great breakfast was provided. The lady that was in charge of the kitchen was phenomenal, she made sure we had everything we wanted, very warm friendly. Her name is Deborah. The hotel staff was also very accommodating, we had an enjoyable stay.
