There were people sleeping in their vehicles in the parking lot. I had read reviews that rated this facility high so I booked there. It was a total mistake.

Room and staff were fine for a budget hotel. Rest of hotel was largely neglected and in disrepair. Ceiling of fitness room was falling apart and chunks of it were sitting on treadmill. Flooring (gravel) next to pool was falling apart and hurt to walk on. Sauna did not work at all. Breakfast room was cold and dark. Room temperature was 55 degrees. Very unwelcoming and limited breakfast amenities. Room was okay for price but rest of hotel needs serious attention.

Upon arrival, the lady at the front desk messed up the 5 room reservations, which were to be paid individually. She gave each guessed the wrong amount to reimburse me since she charged all the rooms to my card. Everyone Venmo me money, but upon looking at my credit card receipt, she had charged approximately $20 more per room than she stated at the desk. One of the five rooms, had soiled, unwashed sheets that looked like someone had vomited in the bed. We went down to complain to the the person at the front desk, and they simply ask us if we wanted a fresh set of sheets. Did not offer a new room. On our way home from vacation, I reached out to the hotel via the Expedia app for which the rooms were booked. I have yet to hear anything back from. I was requesting a refund for the one particular room with these soiled sheets. I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

Not if you plan to sleep

Most was ok EXCEPT the beds. I go there to sleep. Both beds in room were hard as boards, and lumpy. My back was so sore the next morning. They were kind enough to give me room with door to outside to potty my dog, but the door lock was busted. Finally got it open, then couldn’t get it shut. My understanding is service dogs should not be charges- guy at desk would not give. I understand deposit to confirm no damage, but ultimately no extra charge. For the price I paid would have paid more to sleep comfortably. But, your there, gonna get billed anyway, what choice do you have?

His biggest complaint was that there was no breakfast available until after 7:00am on Saturday morning. He had to check out before then since he had a 4-H training to be at by 7:00am.

Breakfast was ready and hot at 5 am. My only two complaints were about the ice hold hot tub and lack of gym equipment. Some of it didn’t work or didn’t work well. Apart from those which went much of an issue our stay was pleasant and we will definitely chose this hotel for our next visit.

No butter no syrup most of the juices were out. when u asked the day shift guy for something seemed like u were asking for the moon he was very rude. Dont let the pictures fool you those were takin when it was first built. The property is run down and looks nothing like the pictures. Also no one will deliver to the hotel as its to far out they say.

It was a very nice hotel. staff were nice and patient with me. However, during the check in, they did not explain how the entry card works on the doors. A lot of the bill paying process was done by the hotel staff member. that process was a little scary because I could not see on the machine what was being signed for and what amount of payment was being made. she hit buttons and tapped ok on the machine, and I had no clue what she was doing. There apparently were no elevators that went to the second floor where my room was located because i had to take stairs each and every time. The room was quite spacious but had lighting issues and the door did not open or close without sticking, I figure that a lot of the issues will be resolved when the construction is finished. The continental breakfast was a complete surprise. It had an abundance of food and great tasting as well. The bed and pillows were great. I went right to sleep and had a wonderful rest.

This is an old hotel with a few modern updates. Our room was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly.
I booked the hotel for a family overnight trip and wanted the pool, hot tub, and sauna to have some relaxation time.
The pool and hot tub were great, but the sauna was not working (and the floor was dirty but I heard a parent say that some kids were messing around in there earlier, so it could have been that instead of the hotel staff’s oversight). The pool deck needs resurfacing as there are loose stones and divots. They were out of towels, but it was 9-10 pm when we were there, so we asked at the front desk and they happily gave us some pool towels.
The breakfast was hot and fully stocked and the lady working there was very gracious and cheerful.
Overall, it was satisfactory to what we expected for being an older hotel and the service was excellent.

The lady the checked us in was friendly enough, but did not mention that the pool & hot tub were not open(one of the biggest reasons we chose this hotel). Even after I said something about the pool & hot tub, she did not mention it. My kids were very disappointed when we went to go down there after dinner.
