Room 219 needs major upgrades. Beds are uncomfortable, door doesn't seal at all, ac doesn't cool low enough, remote for tv doesn't work unless it's 1 ft from the tv. We've stayed before in different rooms and they were top notch for a budget hotel. This one needs some major improvements

Employees were great. Clean. I would have liked a guest laundry. Also, still waiting on VRBO to fulfill their agreement. The $1231.38 amount they are to give us has not come through yet so my trip was much more expensive then I anticipated. Hopefully this will come thru soon.

Not bad. Bathrooms are tiny and cramped. Beds were comfy. Doors didn’t work well. And the pancake restaurant in the hotel was trash. Folks charged an additional 5$ for each item ordered because their “prices just went up”

Was very disappointed bc there was no breakfast on Memorial day. For the $500 a night we should have had all amenities avaliable to us. Not pleased at all. Will not go back. I was really looking forward to a pancake at the pancake house.
