Location has always been the attraction but never again. No lock on patio door just an old hockey stick to keep closed. Parking is a nightmare. Building is falling apart and no upkeep being done. Very dismal, and run down.

Really enjoyed our stay, especially for the very reasonable price compared to other hotels in the area. The lady at the front desk was so so kind, we traveled with 2 dogs and an infant and she was very accommodating and helpful, from letting us check in early, to holding the paperwork still while I had a baby strapped to me. She even upgraded our room which was so appreciated! The room could’ve used some more mopping and dusting, as well as not having watered down hand soap, but besides that, we are very happy with our stay and would recommend to others!

The room inside looks good and cozy, but they need to make the looks of the outside prettier and modern for the price you're paying. Overall, its an average stay

The property was surprisingly quite being right beside the road and their was a live band that night which we enjoyed and it was still quite. Food and drinks and service was great. Not a lot of parking but we did get a good spot under our room.

Room was clean, fair price for the stay. Will stay here again. Only downside, for the room we recieved with it backing on to the Main Street/bar, you could hear a lot of peoples conversations.
