Mixed reports: some guests found rooms spacious and comfortable, while others reported poorly maintained beds, dusty surfaces and an old/unsupportive sofa-bed mattress. Score reduced to reflect these quality issues.
Amenities
8.7
Amenities mentioned include reliable breakfast, a bar and truck parking; generally useful and appreciated by guests, giving amenities a solid score.

Pros:

The staff was really nice and the view on the side with shrubs is really nice. The rooms are clean.

Cons:

If your room faces the parking lot, the view is lack luster.

Wet dog
Pros:

Clean. Has a bar. But the room smelled like a wet dog who chain smoked…and if shame had a smell you could sprinkle that on it. I spent one night. Kept my suitcase closed so the smell didn’t ruin all my clothes. Hopefully never back here again
