Noisy
Our room was outside entrance by parking lot. It was very loud we were woke up at 4am with car alarm. The pillows were to big so bring your own. We didnt have a rack to put a suitcase on.

I would stay again.
This was a stop pn our way home from a trip to Colorado. It is an older hotel but you can tell they have updated. The front desk clerks were nice and helpful.
I did find some cobwebs between the table and bed when i went to turn on the lamp. Everything else was clean.
The bed was comfortable and water was hot. The sheets did not want to stay on the corners of the mattress. I believe the water is softer than we have at home because it took forever to get hair rinsed.
The breakfast was the typical hotel food of eggs, biscuits, and sausage. There was a cinnamon type bread casserole. Juice, milk and cereal were provided as well.

The stay was great. Restaurant had very good food. I was upgraded to a suite at no cost. My only criticism would be there was no closet or rack to hang my clothes on, no iron/ironing board. Will definitely stay again.

Hotel staff was great, breakfast was ok. The guests upstairs were rambunctious and loud very late. Hotel staff took care of the situation, but unfortunately we did not leave well rested!

Weekend trip
The gentleman working over night was really great. When i got up in the middle of the night he was very kind. He actually spoke to me, not just looking up saying hi and looking back down. This is what usually happens. The building was absolutely beautiful. Breakfeast was really great. Needs an elevator. Overall fantastic. Definitely will say again.

I stayed at this property while on a group motorcycle ride with friends, the hotel allowed us to park under the awning right in front of the hotel. The dining and bar in the hotel allowed us to eat and drink without having to get back on the motorcycle. The only issue was the breakfast was not good.

The looks of the property is very sketchy. Like old motel. Doors on outside. I was really debating on staying there. Doors left open for who knows why. Went inside to check in. The pics of the inside are also deceiving. Needs work on inside to look like pictures on line. Now, we check in, go to the room. It was actually on the inside of the hotel. Room was not updated like they said. Went to eat at the restaurant/bar…..AMAZING!!! Service was great! Food was great!! Went back to room, no air. They moved us. Room was much more updated. Nice and cool, very comfy!! All in all it was good.

2/10 Poor
Aug 3, 2024
The place had a heavy musty smell. The tables in the breakfast rooms were dirty, rust stained, garage folding tables. One of the people behind the front desk was obviously drunk, with a drink in her hand, and swearing in front of my children. The door to my room was rusted and dirty. I could go on.
