I booked a stay at this hotel. I was given a handicap accessible room where the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and our clothes became wet. The room was poorly made and could hear normal noise level next door and upstairs. I booked a king room and was placed in a handicap accessible room that was much smaller than the typical rooms.

We stayed in room number 114 and I have to say everything was OK except for the bed for some reason it wasn’t comfortable and we couldn’t get comfortable in it. The heater I believe I’m not sure if the motor is going or if it’s the motor noise tunneling down the hallway there but it sounds like a cooler refrigerator motor running constantly pretty loud.

The property was simple but nice. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was sparkling clean, room was nice and warm when we entered it and the beds were comfortable. We didn't brave the cold to try the hot tub. Restaurant was waking distance. We would stay here again if we're in the area.

The room I was given is basically on the street. There were plenty of rooms available. I don’t know why you would put anyone in this room unless you are booked solid. they were plenty of rooms available! All you hear is loud vehicles all night. It was truly awful. No sleep a couple times you thought they were going to come right into the room.
