Great staff, super convenient location and a good value.
Pros:

Super convenient location for our road trip. The staff members, especially the young man working all alone in the breakfast area, were amazing. Good value for what we paid.

Cons:

The property is showing signs of aging, specifically the bathroom in our room. The tub could use a recoating. That's all.

Pros:

The staff, the staff, the staff. Every single person we interacted with was AMAZING. I would solely come back for them. Thanks to everyone who took care of us! The two ladies at the gift shop were a GEM.

Cons:

The bathrooms need a good scrub but only because they are a bit dated. The place was immaculate otherwise and again, the staff makes up for everything!!! GIVE THEM A RAISE. And whomever hired such cool folks, you are amazing 😍

Old building with friendly staff
Pros:

Very friendly staff

Cons:

Bath tub had hard, caked in residue (maybe from someone who had a bath & scrub?). I was grossed out, but I grinned and beared it. The ac was very loud. Even when I turned it off, it kept going, lol! The free breakfast was small and did not look appetizing, but edible enough.
