Overall our stay was good, but the cost was awfully high
Pros:

Location was good, not within walking distance of town, but close. Breakfast was decent; nothing great, but satisfactory.

Cons:

Room a/c wouldn’t stay on. I’d set it, then after a couple of minutes, it would kick off. Fortunately, outside temp wasn’t super hot…

This has been the best hotel we have stayed at.
Pros:

Friendly staff, clean room. We liked the air conditioner was quiet and no smells. It was a quiet area and it was located at the end of town.

Cons:

The breakfast was ok. The parking lot needed some repair.

Pros:

staff was great and friendly, Andrea, Elnora, Kathy and Sarah were fantastic. Breakfast was good and plentiful, hotel was clean and in good condition

Cons:

had to request to have the room serviced, not automatic like 98% of other hotels, towels could have been thicker and softer

Good
Pros:

It was nice and quiet, even the AC was quiet!

Cons:

The only thing that wasn't up to par was the breakfast. No Styrofoam cups, for coffee they ran out, so I went searching outside the dining room. It took a long time to re-fill the eggs. I Think they were short handed.

Cons:

Our room was on the 3rd floor, and it took a long, long time for the water to get warm in the sink/shower.
