Amanda, Aug 2018
Pros (+) The staff were professional, friendly, and very helpful. They tipped us off to good restaurants/things to do in the area and provided us with a map of the town/local businesses upon our arrival. They were ready to answer any questions we had and to help us with anything we needed - be it towels, local delivery spots, or fresh coffee. There’s a nice little pool with a hot tub and outdoor seating ar...
Cons (-) Our room was a little dilapidated and there was clearly some kind of ventilation issue. As stated above, the hotel was at capacity so, we were unable to switch rooms. However, we spoke with the manager (Tim) and he made everything right when we checked out. Breakfast is just OK, but free is free!
