The staff during check in was somewhat rude. I don’t appreciate getting talked down to. Also, keys to room stopped working and had to have them scanned again. Hotel is overpriced with what it offers.

BED BUGS. I’ll start with the reason we put all our items in trash bags at 3 am and drove home. My husband and I were staying here with our three young daughters and I woke up to a large bed bug running down my arm. We pulled back the sheets and sure enough old blood droplets. Went to the front desk to report this and he was less than helpful. When we first got there to check in he was scrolling on his phone in the side room with his bare feet kicked up on the desk. Checked in at 9 and left at 3 am. BOOK ANYWHERE ELSE.

Was pleasantly surprised room was refreshed for a 2 night stay. Many places no longer offer that service. Liked the egg patties, sausages and waffles for a hot breakfast. Extremely reasonable prices compared to other nearby motels. To get to it, can be easy to miss the drive as many drives close by. Maybe have a sign at the end of the drive so easier to find. Would definitely stay again.

Check in was fast and friendly. Room was very cold upon entering. Warmed up quickly when we turned it above 60 degrees. Breakfast was just ok. Several items were missing or not stocked. Parking lot not plowed, so hard to walk through and park. Sidewalks were clear, but had to climb through snow to get into our car. Bed was comfortable and noise level was good. Not a bad hotel for the price, have stayed here before, but will look at other options due to the breakfast that was mediocre at best.

It was adquate for what I needed but it needs remodeled. The chair and ottoman in the room was stained and dirty looking. I wouldn't sit in it. The mattress pad had huge holes in it along the sides, the tv stand had chunks out of it and the carpet had holes in it. The staff was hard to understand and the breakfast was not very appealing.

Cheap stay
It’s was just that, a (cheaper) place to stay. The beds were uncomfortable, room was dingy, no elevator and could use more of an update. The pool was small and sketchy with a sign on the door that said to take a shower before swimming. Never did go down for breakfast. Couldn’t understand the 2 front desk guys I dealt with.
