Friendly staff at check-in. Very clean when you first walk in. Room was nice but they need to work on cleaning the corners. So spider webbs in two corners.

If want to stay at a hotel with no working elevator, a hot and muggy front desk and breakfast area, and a management team with a take it or leave it attitude then this is your place. They are listed as pet friendly but that comes with a steep price. If you are not pleased with that and what a refund so you can go to another hotel Too Bad as neither the hotel nor Expedia will refund your money, even when you never accepted the room. Don’t ask for the general manager as they won’t tell you his or her name or give you their phone number. When you call Expedia they do nothing to help you.
