Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
With some of these reviews I think there is a misunderstanding of what a two star rated hotel is. This hotel is in need of an update, but it is clean and the staff is friendly. As a note for parents of youth athletes staying here, the continental breakfast is pretty bad, with no protein options outside of hard boiled eggs. You will be better off going to the diner across the street.
