Pros:

The first floor building that we were in was very noisy. Exercise room was beside our living area. The loud noises from the gearbox when the elevator was moving was right beside the one bedroom. No stove. Had a small toaster oven on counter. Nice microwave oven and full size refrigerator. The rooms were clean and cleaning staff was very good. The staff offered to move us, but after a long trip, we had already unloaded the car and unpacked our clothes in the bedroom and put our kitchen supplies away and wiped things down with sanitizers and being in our middle 60’s we were not going to pack up again and load up the car and then unload again and carry our luggage’s to another building at this hotel. They need to supply scub pads and dish soap for kitchen and bath soap for showers. Had to go to Walmart for these items. I told staffing and they said that we had to ask for them. ???

Great staff, restaurant and room. Know that this property sits on the main road and can get noisy. However, we loved parking our car and walking through the nice town.
